MUSIC...

A soft suggestive tune drifted through the air, halted for a while in serious contemplation, teasing the strained ears, and then, with the sudden agility of a preying panther, pounced upon the eardrums….A warm chill slithered down the spine, poking each rib, strumming the heart-strings, making the feet tingle, the mouth smile…helplessly….
Music always intoxicated her…It popped open within her being, a gigantic bottle of wine….and as the creamy white froth spilled over the gaping mouth of the bottle, the dreamy smile crept stealthily into her face and forced open her parched lips, stretching it like a rubber-band….
That was all she could ask for when asked with sadistic indifference- “any last wish?”…With hands tied tightly, painfully behind her, she tiptoed towards the menacing gallows…one step at a time….and there she stood right below the lip-smacking coiled serpent…down came the black cape over her mesmerisingly beautiful eyes….and the last that the fiercely ‘lawful’ world saw of her was that hauntingly angelic smile…..The smile that tamed Death itself …tamed it with the soft tempting whip of that one musical note….
