“The Vacation”
by Jay Adams

The air seems to be cooler than usual on this September night. I can’t put my finger on it, but this isn’t going to be an ordinary trip. Lord knows I needed to get away. My band and I have a gig in LA, but this vacation is all about me. 

There has been so much going on in these past few weeks. I’ve always undervalued the importance of a good rest.  You know what, though? I’m going to get as much of it as I possibly can for this next week. My body is weary. This replenishment is long overdue.

Now, here we are in this airport. I’ve always hated airports. They’re noisy and crowded. Who does this anyway? The stereotypical stares at people who “fit the profile” have always bothered me. I can sense the tension building in this place. I wonder if they can feel me people-watching? That’d be weird. Like, look at this dude- he’s not even watching where he’s going. I can’t take this anymore.

I turn to my bass guitarist and ask: “Would it be odd if we just started playing right here, right now?”
