"you're not even trying! again!"

my calloused hands dance across the keyboard. a finger slips and the piano groans.

"your father would be ashamed! again!" 

my blurred ivsion falls from the yellowed sheet music to the faded ivory. i miss another note. 

"faster! again!"

i stumble once more as the tempo increases.

she rises from the bench. "absolutely worthless. you're done for today." i hang my head in shame. i know whats coming. 

the floorboards creak as mother returns from the kitchen. i wince.

its hard enough to play with three fingers. it'll be even harder with two.
