Balalaika on Windowsill Winter Midnight Harare Rehearsal

by Aaron Trujillo

A wooden balalaika rests on a narrow windowsill, its triangular body catching the warm, yellow cast of a single tungsten bulb. Outside the glass, the night is pitch black, revealing only the faint, blurred shapes of monsoon trees against the deep dark. The room walls are painted a faded cream, showing scuffs and wear from years of use. Shadows stretch long across the floorboards, creating a stark contrast between the bright instrument and the surrounding gloom. Dust motes float in the concentrated beam of light, settling on the polished strings. The glass reflects the empty chair opposite, adding depth to the quiet space. One raindrop streaks down the lower corner of the pane.
