Here is another piece of flash fiction. Again, it’s a ‘Drabble’ being 100 words long and having a beginning, middle and end. It was inspired by a scene I saw on holiday, but it’s completely fictional. Rather entertainingly, we subsequently met some of the performers – including the two lads – in a taverna and were able to express our enjoyment of the concert.
A writer’s perspective
Those who were to perform in the Festival concert were in the front rows of the audience. Two young men sat side by side. The compere introduced a piece for solo piano, and both boys stood up. One went to the piano, the other stood at the side, recording a video of the performance.
Were they a gay couple, I wondered? The youth turned, looked at me; I smiled back.
Afterwards, he asked me why I had stared at him, rather than watch his friend performing.
“I am a writer. I have to look where other people are not looking.”
Autumn Leaves 
Oh, Penny! Couldn´t you change the last sentence? Than I would say I understand! ““I am a writer. I have to look where other people are not looking.”…I was feeling the story just until this last sentence. Eye contact can be a magical thing. It can just disconcert you. Sometimes, it is just fortuity chance, but sometimes you fix somebody for some reason…….

I’m glad I’m not the only one at live show who actually looks and probably stares a little, at other actors, directors , stage hands, etc, anything but the show on stage, i seem to engross myself in the outskirts out-runners of the show, as they busily go about their tasks, in backgrounds of the production……..

Thank you Penny and thanks also Ivor, I think I understood now. The normal big events have also no need to be written down..people can feel them “live”. The more interessting things are the little secrets, which happens in silence?
