Music for All Spaces
Wagner is epic, his father used to say. Lex would sit on the floor in front of the speakers, listening to the deafening music and Lionel's voice filling the room. The same overture played in Lex's head every time his father burst through the doors. It sounded like power.
Now it just sounds like his father. Lex escapes to a tiny club, kids dancing on top of each other and drowning in buzzing guitars. Something's waiting for him there; it curls warm in his stomach, and tingles at his fingertips. It feels like power.
Lionel doesn't know what he's missing.
