              Paganini rushed into his apartment, slamming the door behind him; the Shrek poster held tightly in his hand. He tossed off his overcoat and opened up the violin case sitting plainly atop of his neat bed. Across from his bed was his desk, littered with quills, ink, and paper, ready to be put to use. Paganini put the shoulder rest on the violin and held it in place. with his jaw holding it against his shoulder, he had 2 free hands rosin his bow and then tune the string. He made sure each one was in perfect pitch, as this piece would make or brake him. Moments later, he began to play.He payed a tune so beautiful, so upbeat, so inspiring. he knew Shrek would love it. Paganini spent hours checking every note, it had to be perfect. He rewrote the music over and over again, as even the smallest flawwas still a flaw, and a flaw must be amended. The candles on his nightstand were almost burnt out, and the 'midnight' sun shone brightly through his window. Paganini had finally finished. He straightened the pages of his music and neatly placed into a folder. With a sigh of relief, Paganini retreated into his bed, and tucked himself under the soft sheets. 

           As much as he tried, sleep would not come. Time passed and inevitably, dawn arrived, yet Paganini hadn't slept at all. Only one thought rang through his mind and her began to throw his belongings into a bag. He only packed the essentials, and he threw the bag over his shoulder, grabbed his violin inside his case and rushed out the door with only one goal he had his heart set on. He knew. He must find Shrek.
