This post is part of the December Blog Chain at Absolute Write. This month’s challenge is to write hint fiction: a story 25 words or less.

“Why do you keep requesting that same waltz?” the bandleader cried.

Check out this month’s other bloggers, all of whom have posted or will post their own hint fiction:
