The city noise, usually a background hum, was now a cacophony of sirens and honking horns that amplified the thumping in her chest. She had just seen the message. *“Midnight_Writer” - That concert at the arena tonight? I'm going!* The arena was just across town.

She felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead. The room felt small. Her breath was coming in ragged gasps. She wanted to scream. She started to cry.

She didn't know what to do. She buried her face in her hands, wishing the feeling would go away.
