Prompt excerpt

Begin inside a Southwest Missionary Baptist church five minutes after everyone has left. Let the piano sound certain while the voice remains unconvinced.

The story

Ruth has played the same upright piano for twenty-nine years. She wanted to hear what the room sounds like once the service ends and the certainty leaves with the congregation.

She generated eleven interpretations, kept none of them whole, and rewrote her prompt until the drums entered late and arrived without triumph.

Lyric excerpt

I can hold the chord longer than I can hold the answer.
