This Is Not a Love Song

Interior. Fireside Bowl. Fullerton Avenue.

Katherine a.k.a. Kat is playing a song at a concert. She doesn't make eye contact with anyone in the crowd while she sings and jams with her guitar. She's just living up the moment and making a name for herself.

It works because of the way that the crowd is described, as if they were "assaulting" Kat with their eyes, attempting to make eye contact. The relentless stares are always ignored though. Kat uses this as her opportunity to capture the crowd's "mayfly attention" which would mean that their attention is short since mayflies die relatively quickly. That's the thing too; Kat loved the attention. She loved being the center of the spotlight and she didn't want anyone else to be there with her, which is why she never locked eyes with anyone in the audience; she didn't want to ruin the moment(s).
