Piano

There was always one person at his parties who thought they could play it.
The lid of the piano was lifted and someone stabbed out a basic melody with one finger while they looked at the others for adulation like they were Richard fucking Clayderman or something.
Tonight was no different. Drunken idiot versions of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and some current chart dirge had been "performed".
Once everyone had gone he sat down in front of his beloved piano and cracked his knuckles. He would show them all how it was done next time.
He began playing. It was something classical, but it sounded like it was being played by a tone deaf man with no hands.
