She pauses outside the elevator, her foot in the path of the rattling metal doors.
“I don’t bite.” Though his smile reveals sharp canines that tell a different story.
“You’re in that band.”
“Tribe of domination. Submit to our temptation,” he sings and curls his fingers, beckoning her to enter and relieve the doors of their anxious open and close motion.
“I told myself I wouldn’t get on an elevator today,” she says as she tiptoes next to him. “Had a rotten dream last night. The cable snapped and I went into free fall until—” She raises her arm and claps one hand down into the other. “Splat!”
He jerks back his neck. “Ouch.”
“It’s always fun to dream about your own death.”
“Death by heavy metal is better.” He reaches into his back pocket, pulls out a card that says Backstage pass, and tucks it inside her bra. “Hope to see you at the concert tonight. It’ll be fire!” he says through a smirk and exists the elevator just as the doors open.

Interesting story. Horrible dream, but she got a backstage pass to a concert, so not so bad. Free tickets can’t lose, unless you hate the band I guess?

Hmm, even if you hate the band, would you give up free concert tickets? I’d probably still go. There’s bound to be one song I like, right? Lol

OH gosh, for awhile there I thought he was a vampire and was going to suck the blood from her neck, LOL! Great story! It leaves you wanting more.

Ha! I was toying with the idea of a vampire rock star, but I think it’s been done before so I decided against it lol.

It was still a great story! My mind was just going toward a vampire for some reason.

I was thinking vampire/creature of the night, as well. I like it much better that he isn’t one, though – it makes his creepiness stand out more 😀

Yes, the creep factor rises a few notches when you realize he’s a mere mortal. 😀
