She Didn't Want To Hear From Her Ex

from my journal notes

The role of a medium is, at times, very testing. In front of them is an audience that, first, wants to know if the medium is any good, and second, if the medium will bring a message to them from their loved one in spirit.

There the medium stands, on a stage in front of the waiting audience. No scripts, no visible support, yet with everyone waiting for the medium to speak.
