Loud screams erupted from the stadium as he walked out onto the stage. Danny threw his hands into the air, agitating the crowd even more. They roiled and tumbled over each other, eager to reach out to him. He screamed into the microphone, the words tumbling from his lips like butterflies taking flight.

“I’ve spent the last two years tearing apart my soul!” Danny hollered into the microphone as people everywhere smashed against each other. The crowd screamed the rest of the lyrics back at him and he continued to rant at them. His lips formed the words quickly, spitting them out and leaving nothing but destruction in his path. “I’ll put the next two in to kick-start the good old days of rock and roll!”

The crowd was full of excitement, hanging onto every word that he screamed. In the sea of people, piercings and tattoos stood out. These were his friends. They were shunned by society, shut out from popularity just because of their appearance.

Danny slammed the microphone down finally, leaving the stage.
