Michael Jackson | OO4 ★

2009

You were the new sound engineer, well, a substitute sound engineer, since the original one had a bit of a cold

they had hired you, but not permanently, only until the other one returned

×××

they were in the middle of rehearsal, and Michael was supposed to sing live, but there was a small problem

The microphone was too low, and you had just broken the volume knob, which apparently the entire circuit was much more expensive than all your organs combined

You were nervous and didn't know what to do, the only thing you kept repeating in your mind was "Earth swallow me", you wanted to disappear, and if it was possible to die right then and there... You knew you were fired

×××

Meanwhile, Michael was down there, at the first screams he thought he didn't hear them, since he himself didn't feel the speakers every time he screamed

“As he came in to the window" I don't hear that on the speaker, I only hear the instruments, he adjusted the microphone “It was a sound of a crescendo”

Not hearing him, she immediately stopped dancing, stood up, and took off her microphone and headphones

“What the hell is going on? It’s not playing. Who’s controlling the sound?”

×××

After Michael was informed of what you did, he personally addressed you

“Did you break the damn sound system? Do you even know how much this costs? You’re fired! And I’ll make you pay for it.”

You looked at him devastated, with tearful eyes
