Echoes in the Empty Arena

Silenced by applause

Today’s random word is PUBLIC

Since drabbles are brief, I’d appreciate it if you could hang around on this page for at least 30 seconds to count it as a read. If you feel like giving a round of applause, highlighting, or dropping a comment, that would be the perfect finishing touch. 💕

Elena stared at the empty stadium, the silence deafening after the roar of the crowd. Just months ago, her voice had filled this space, electrifying thousands.

“They’ll forget you, Elena,” a voice sneered. “Public memory is fickle.”

She squeezed her eyes shut, remembering the faces, the tears, the lighters swaying like fireflies. “No,” she whispered. “They may not remember every note, but they felt. They were moved. And that, that will stay.”

The voice remained, a cold ember, but Elena held firm. The public might be fickle, but the music was eternal. And she, Elena, would find her voice again.

Nancy Oglesby writes, “If you are unfamiliar with a drabble, it is a fiction story of exactly 100 words.”

To make the challenge more interesting, each day, she gives a random word prompt.
