SCORPIONS SHOCK HORROR
My Mind Told Me It Was Fate...My Editor Told Me It Was Due Friday!
Trembling to the tips of my innermost feelings, I looked into the eyes of my table companions. The unasked question hovered on my lip like a battery operated helicopter. Would I find the courage to dive into this deadly pool? Would I come out alive? Would I come out awake? “Many people say you’re different from other heavy metal bands...” I began timidly. “What’s the difference?” one of the exotic strangers asked. “That’s what makes us different,” explained his tall companion. “Well, what does make you different?” I moaned. The room whirled and my other personality threatened to make the scene in my mind. “You should answer that. We don’t know,” the tall one chuckled with a roguish wave of the eyebrow. “I know,” confessed the other, knowingly. “We do really,” continued the tall guy. “We are just joking! I think the songs are different. We still have the heavy background and power, but we have melodies, which most of them don’t have. But I will not say any names! No names are mentioned!”
That’s when I understood. The amnesia which had clouded my life since the Count’s desertion fled in confusion with my other personality close on it’s heels, leaving me alone and unprotected.
