A New Version of Orpheus.

Hello. My name is Orpheus. I know it is a strange name for someone in 2010, but my parents love Greece. I guess the name fits me because I am very good at playing the guitar. Anyway, to earn money, I play guitar on the streets. Well, one day, I say the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She came to me and said,"What's your name?""Orpheus""Well, Orpheus, my name is Eurydice.""Are your parents greek lovers to?""Yes.""Well maybe we can go out sometime.""I'd like that." So we exchanged phone numbers. On the next friday we went to chinese food. As we were walking out, some college boys came out and took Eurydice. I ran after them, but they got away. I went home, got my guitar and my phone, and I was off. Luckily I could track her by the GPS on her phone. I got to the gang's hideout. Their leader said,"It's no use, I'm not letting her go." So, I started to play the best music I knew. For 30 minutes, I played. After then, the boss said,"I'll let you take her to were she lives. If you look back or try to communicate in any way, she dies." So, I agreed. We walked for 15 minutes I recognized the buildings. We were near Eurydice's home. I was starting to doubt the gangsters were still following us. So, I turned around, and a gunshot could be heard for miles. Eurydice's dead, bloody body was lying on the street.
