Le challenge rules:
I shall put my music library on shuffle and pair her top 10 ships with the first 10 songs. Each ship gets a story related to the song with decreasing times: ship #1 gets 10 min., ship #2 gets 9 min., ship #3 gets 8 min., etc. So ship #10 is a hot mess 1 min. panic attack.
And you don't HAVE to listen to the song first...but you might want to. And author's notes are bolded.
10. ChihiroxHaku (Spirited Away) – "Him" by Elvis Presley – 1 min. timer
Um, okay, so there's this album of Every Single Elvis Gospel Thing Ever that I have. But some of them aren't real songs, they're like rehearsals and jam sessions and whatever. So this "song"...I listened to it twice trying so hard to understand what they're saying...I've got nothing, not a clue, and it's not like I can look up the nonexistent lyrics.
She tried so hard to hear him, to understand - the garbled whispers, frantic and insistent, but hushed, as though underwater.
It was him.
He was talking to her.
He was wanting her.
He couldn't be deciphered, and she cried tears into the river and dreamed.
You know, for the nothing I had, I'm kind of proud for just incorporating how much I couldn't decipher the song into this story, lol. Also HE because the song is called HIM, yeah, okay.
