[ FF ] You do n't believe in love in first sight , but one encounter convinces you otherwise . ~50 to 200 words

The music shook my very existence like the heartbeat of Mother Earth herself. Blisteringly loud walls of fuzzed-out guitar crashed into me in waves, washing away all of my stress and worries. 
 
 By day I was a staunch realist, unconvinced of superstition and `` gut feelings''. None of my coworkers knew me as anything more than dull and business-minded. 
 
 But tonight I had decided to indulge in my secret and guilty passion, the ethereal experience of shoegaze. The musicians swayed dreamlike up onstage in front of a wall of amplifiers. The crowd was silent, or at least drowned out by the impenetrable sound of the angels proceeding from the stage. 
 
 I glanced around then, and it was as if one of the angels I could hear had alighted in the crowd. I had to catch my breath as she gently careened from side to side in the hazy pink lights, dark hair softly tumbling down. 
 
 And when our gazes met, I could see that we were the same, just two drifters cleansing ourselves of the stress of our every day lives. 
 
 As the musicians poured their hearts out through amplifiers, we poured ours into each other then, uniting through the celestial noise of pure emotion. 
 
 Love at first sight just needed the right moment to convince me.
