a voice unlike any other in the world
So on saturday night i found this bar and in it were all these people and they were all wearing coveralls, like the ones you see factory workers in. And turns out, all of these people work at a factory just on the outskirts of town. It's this really really big factory, apparently, and it even goes underground a few stories because they are doing so much big work.
Actually, most of the people i talked to weren't very nice to me, they were all kinds of gruff and miserable and 'let me get back to my beer city kid before i put this bottle through your eye' Fortunately, this one lanky looking guy with scruffy hair pulled me over to the bar and was like 'you don't go being that straight forward with the factory workers man! You looking for a beating or what?'
People call him Lanks, and he told me a bit about the factory, but he couldn't tell me what they do in there because nobody's really sure. Everybody has these really small jobs that don't seem to mean much but they all combine to make this one really big job. Lanks said he spends most of his days checking metallic cylinders of various sizes to make sure there isn't anything wrong with them. He said he kind of hopes that they're all working with all this metal in order to create a giant elephant. He said an elephant factory would be really cool, and he'd read about one in a book somewhere.
Anyway, Lanks and i had a few beers and then this girl came up on stage and everybody just went quiet. She had a guitar with her and she got up on a little stool, coughed a really small cough (almost like she was embarassed by it), and then she started singing. She had really long red hair that kind of hid her face a bit, and they way she held herself made her seem really small.
But MY GOD it was the most beautiful thing i had ever heard in my whole entire life, and i have no idea how she sung those songs or what chords she played but the subtle combination of the two made my mind explode. I was hypnotised immediately, and it seemed everyone else was too because the only sound in the whole bar was just her music. which wandered through the bar carelessly and freely. Somehow the songs all felt so sad but they were just so beautiful i wanted her to play forever.
A little voice in my head said 'That girl is a guitar and vocal genius much in the way you wanted to be a piano genius blake! You must find out why she writes songs like she does!'
Lanks said she works in the factory along with everybody else. I tried to look for her after she finished but it was like she'd just vanished into thin air. I really wanted to tell her how good she was but she just wasn't anywhere. Lanks gave me his home phone number and said i might be able to find her at the factory, but i'd have to start working there like everyone else otherwise i couldn't get in.
I went home and told Peter i was thinking of going 'deep cover', and explained to him that if i started working at the factory then i was sure i could break the mag lev system that i just knew they were repairing in there, and that i'd also heard they were manufacturing muffin bot parts in there and that i could effectively execute a double whammy by destroying them both. Peter discussed it with Roger who said that he'd felt something like this was coming because of that episode of 'My Three Sons' they'd watched last night, and was ok with it.
So tomorrow i'm going with Lanks to sign up for factory work in the hopes of finding the girl with the marvellous voice! Oh man this is exciting!
