The air was thick tangy with the smell of beer and the sound of a steel guitar cut through the crowd like a knife. Sarah, fresh off the bus from Texas, stood at the corner of this honky tonk, her heart beatin' like a tambourine to the music. She clutched her guitar loosely, its worn wood warm under her fingers. Her dreams were bigger than these honky tonks, but right now, this was all she had: a few coins in her pocket, a song on her heart, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, someone here would see somethin' special.

She took a deep sniff, closed her eyes, and started to sing.
