My take on Velvet Verbosity’s 100 word challenge this week (am I late? oops…)
The sound flowed from her headphones, winding its way through her. She sighed as unseen colors swirled and pulsated, wrapping around her, cradling her from the stress and worries of the outside world. Nothing mattered at this moment. For now the inbox full of requests was closed; she wouldn’t hear the phone ringing persistently in the background. She relaxed as haunting melodies soothed her thoughts; she settled as her breathing and heart beat began to match the steady bass. And she smiled as her fingers snapped along with the rhythm. For now, all that existed was her and the music.

Oh, I like this one. I wonder how many DJ’s feel this way?

Music = love, no doubt about it.

Maybe it’s because I’m on a vacation (of sorts) and for the first time in a long time I feel like my inbox is closed….but this is my pick of the week. I liked that you didn’t go with the obvious interpretation that springs to everyone’s mind, including my own, of someone snapping under pressure. Positive is what I was looking for this moment, and you gave it.
Music can be so powerfully mood altering and soothing.
