Sneak Peek ;)

Alright..so...I often have little thoughts and short parts of stories come up in my head. I like the ideas but..usually get nowhere with them. Although, I had this one come up that I really liked and so I'm going to post it here and let you all tell me what you think. Thanks for any input guys!! (P.S. I'm thinking about titling the story or book or whatever it is I may do with this excerpt, The Piano Man. Alright..enough babbling...here's the excerpt!)

She silently slipped into the back of the room. It was completely dark aside from one spotlight that shone above a man playing a piano. Her heart raced and her body trembled as she listened to his song. Gentle rhythms, amazing melody, and stunning chords captured her heart and soul. She watched intently as his graceful fingers danced upon the black and white keys. He carefully pressed each one but he composed a remarkable piece of work. It was obvious this man put his everything into the song. His body moved back and forth in jerking motions to the beat of the song. His head thrust down toward the piano and then back up again as if shouting to the sky. The man began to play louder, the adrenaline in the room increased and he thrashed about on the piano into a crescendo of hard-hitting notes. But they still fit that incredible piece of work that he had being softly playing just moments before. Suddenly, all was quiet. The man looked frozen in his spot on the piano bench. Then slowly, his right hand went down and played a simple note. His left hand followed, and another note followed. Four more chords floated through the room before all was silent once more. The man let out a deep breath and his head fell downward. There was a quick click from somewhere in the room, and then it was completely dark.
