Ronnie's Songs (Completed) #Wattys2017

Love is like a song. It always has a beginning and an end. What matters is the middle: how we choose to play it, live it, enjoy it, and go through with it.

Some songs take us by surprise, some are really spot-on, and some are garbage and are too awful for our ears to listen, whilst some are just hanging there in the middle, not too good and not too bad, and some... we have no choice but to wait until it gets finished.

Veronica Wallace, Ronnie for short, is a very hopeless romantic girl who wants to find her true love. But what if she already let him go? What if she missed that one time opportunity?

What if she never finds her rhythm and melody again?

Will she stop listening to the song of her life, or will she discover a hit song that's about to change her life?

Will she ever find that one special love that will make it to the top of the charts? One that could possibly win The Grammy's?

Of course, these are all metaphors. After all, Ronnie believes that the reality is always there to slap us in the face when the daydreaming gets too much. The radio must be turned off to prevent it from getting broken, the iPod has to have power before you can use it, and stuff like that.

The reality is always there, waiting to strike us malevolently in our perfect dreams.
