Zen
Zen was called in to work on a new play but the director sent everyone home early. “Babe?” He called as soon as he got home, but he got no response.
He suddenly heard a sound similar to an animal dying coming from the kitchen. He quickly ran inside, but was surprised to find that the noise was coming from MC. It turns out that those dying animal noises were actually MC’s singing. There they were, mopping the floor, while screeching singing ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ by ‘Elton John’. It was really, really terrible. Dogs were barking outside to which MC remained blissfully unaware, but Zen thought it was the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard. So what did he do? He joined them.
MC was already on the second verse by the time Zen arrived, Zen just jumped in before MC could continue, and by jump I mean jump in through the door dramatically. “Don’t go breaking my heart.”
MC jumped, they weren’t expecting Zen to be home so soon. They blushed, embarrassed at their singing but Zen waved his hand, gesturing for them to continue, “You take the weight off of me,” they smiled.
“Oh honey, when I knock on your door,” he held them in his arms now.
“I gave you my key,” they kissed his nose.
The sound was certainly different, Zen’s beautiful voice paired with MC’s, but Zen couldn’t have been happier.
