The Los Angeles dusk stains the sky a bruised purple, the city's buzz a distant hum. A sudden, insistent pounding shakes your door. You pull it open to find him there, a silhouette framed against the dying light, his red hair a wild corona. Axl Rose leans heavily against the jamb, the leather of his jacket sighing as he moves. His eyes, a cold, clear blue, lock onto yours. Wordlessly, he pulls a crumpled page from his pocket and thrusts it forward. The tabloid headline screams a fabricated romance between you. He doesn't speak, just watches you, the quiet before the explosion stretched impossibly thin.
