Here’s an example:
On a cold October night, the four of us stroll through campus and find the door to Kimbrough unlocked. We walk the hallway and come across a dimly lit room. It’s practically empty except for a grand piano sitting in the far corner. We go inside and a friend plays a few notes before breaking into Chopin’s “Raindrop.” It’s a surprise to us all. The rest of us twirl around and plié like ballerinas. My grandpa had told me that the pianos on campus are kept well-tuned. He was right. The song ends and we head back into the night.
