Milky Way

Nora walked onto the stage.

At first she couldn’t see the faces, because the lights were pointing towards
her, and beyond that glare ever ything seemed like darkness. Except for a
mesmerising milky way of camera flashes and phone torches.
She could hear them, though.
Human beings when there’s enough of them together acting in total

unison become something else. e collective roar made her think of
another kind of animal entirely. It was at first kind of threatening, as if she
was Hercules facing the many-headed Hydra who wanted to kill him, but

this was a roar of total support, and the power of it gave her a kind of
strength.
She realised, in that moment, that she was capable of a lot more than she
had known.
