No Encores, Please — Rob Cornell

The music haunts him. Over two-thousand miles away from home, and he still hears it, getting closer every day.

Before Ridley Brone became a private eye, he was just a kid looking to find his place outside the world his parents had forced him into. But living on his own means making ends meet. In order to do that, he must use the very thing he wants to abandon -- the music.

“No Encores, Please” is a short story of about 4,200 words.
