A/N sorry this is crap I wrote it in about an hour. This story couldn't have been written before today. Thanks for your time.
Starman changes
On the 11th of January 2016 they both heard the news separately, but at the same time. Ethan was the first to go, his brother had already left but Ethan's shift didn't start until later on, he let the tears flow down his face and he didn't even move. Lofty, however, well for him it took a while to sink in. For him, he couldn't take it in, he just didn't believe that this day has arrived. Connie heard the news and knew of the effect this may have on some off the staff she sent a text to all the staff telling them to text her if they were affected. She received just two. On seeing these messages, she informed the pair that they would be permitted to respect this in whatever way they saw fit. Lofty, who out of the pair was less extreme, took to wearing a themed t-shirt and styling his hair differently. Ethan, however, found out his replica outfit and put it on, he found out his temporary hair dye and dyed his hair, he found out his makeup and began to apply the correct stuff so he could imitate his idol since he was a small boy, before he left for his shift he took one more look in the mirror smiling at himself. He felt so much emotion and he had to stop himself from crying again. Ethan and lofty turned up at the same time, there was no doubt in their minds now, they were friends. As they entered the staff room the whole staff, who were at a meeting, turned to face them.
"What the hell?" A very confused Jack, who was met with nods from many of the younger members of staff. Without a word, Ethan and lofty knew exactly what they were going to do.
"The simplest way to explain this is like this." Ethan said lightly.
"There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds." They both began to sing, their rendition of starman eventually came to a close met with applause from the older staff who knew what was going on. The silence came and everyone felt excruciatingly awkward. This silence was broken when a breathless Ethan muttered.
"Rest in peace, Bowie."
A/N This story is dedicated to my idol and one of my favourite musicians of all time David Bowie who passed away yesterday and the news was confirmed today.
So, I'm going to ask to take a moment of your time to remember a true hero today. David Bowie contributed so much evolution of music and society. Many aspects of style and life come from the way Bowie grasped his life and lived it. Not many people truly live their lives, Bowie did. It is incredibly sad that he was taken from us so soon, but he lives on. His music, his character and his influence will affect me personally and the world for years to come.
I want you to take a moment and realise your full potential, Bowie did that, he knew that he could do whatever he wanted, so he did. He will never die. He may be gone but he still lives on his life meant something. I'm taking this as an opportunity to work out who I really am and what I can achieve, so I can live and love my life, just like Bowie. Rest in peace.
