The Reaper's Successor

Night of the Deathly Music

Today was the day. The final day of this horrible year that Scott had to go through and hopefully this was going to be the ending of the bad times. And the beginning of the new year.

Scott had been preparing for this concert for so long. He had to go shopping for new clothes for himself and Ryan to specially dress for this occasion. He got himself a new denim jacket and a pair of jeans for today while Ryan got a new plaid shirt to wear.

Scott had been having a rough few nights trying to fall asleep with all the whispers that were haunting him but he managed to block them all out so that he can fully focus on making this the best experience for Ryan and himself too. Warren had also gotten ready within a few minutes and they were ready for the big event. "To the concert hall!"

It did not take them that long to arrive at the place right on time at 8pm and it was brimming with people. There were many loud and boisterous people and the music was being blasted at the max volume throughout the whole speaker event. Scott was getting ready to go inside with Ryan and Warren but then noticed something. The whispers have stopped.

That's not a good sign...

But Scott had shrugged it off as he finally was able to stop hallucinating those voices and now can have an amazing time at the concert with Ryan and Warren. He entered the concert hall and it was even noisier inside than outside with multiple people screaming and shouting at the songs and rocking out to the band. They managed to find their seats and it was time for them to have the best time of their lives. Scott was amazed at this huge event that this little town had managed to organise every year without a doubt.

Ryan had also seemed to be enjoying his time as he sat on my shoulders and pointed every time there was a song change and cheered in joy. Scott reminded himself that he had to thank Warren for making this a possible thing as he had not seen Ryan this happy before. Scott decided to try to talk to some people around him and he managed to befriend this one girl who had similar interest in music as him.

A little more than three hours had passed and it was soon reaching the countdown to the next year. Scott had been waiting for this. He wanted this year to end as soon as possible. He just sat there and waited. The screen on the front of the concert hall turned into a countdown timer to 2019. 5 more minutes to go. Things were actually going good for Scott. But nothing ever actually goes according to plan...

"Uncle Scott." Ryan tugged the sleeve of his uncle's jacket. "Yes, Ryan?"

Scott turned his attention from the countdown to Ryan. "I really need to use the toilet please."

Scott did not know the place that well. But surely he could find the toilet right? Just then, the girl who he had been talking to, whose name was Kira, offered to take them to the toilet.

They proceeded towards the stairs while everyone else was sitting and awaiting the countdown to 2019.

It was quite hard to get through the mountains of people and Scott was carrying Ryan on his shoulders which made it more difficult.

People were complaining about Scott having to walk right past them and throwing annoyed looks and scowls at him.

The music was getting louder trying to signal how close we were getting towards the end of 2018.

Kira was still leading the way towards the stairs. Scott was thankful he made an acquaintance at this huge concert.
