A large heavy metallic box rested on my tie-dyed shoulder as I strutted down the busy epicenter of many peoples lives in my purple’n’blue plaid slippers. Few bothered to take lasting stares at my out of date and out of sight wardrobe and even fewer stopped what they were doing and followed. It made the endless shine of my smile grow even more.

I rested the large metallic box on the end of a solid stone bench. Passer byers recognized it almost instantly as a piece of junk. Reaching into the back pocket of my jean pants I pulled out a small black box with two small white wheels in the center. On my command of pressing a small red button that rested atop the metallic box a small part of it opened up with just enough room for the small black box. I quickly inserted the black box and slammed the metallic box’s opening shut then pressed a red arrow and slid my hand down on a circle protruding from the surface of the box on its way down to my side.

“WAULBA WAULBO WAOULBE ERRIKE!” the box blasted. Every body froze. My arm and eyebrow rose high above my big o beetle sunglasses as I looked down at the booming box. I jarred it in the side with a solid thwack with my low arm.

“EVERY BODY DANCE NOW!” it blasted  and quickly followed up with an addictive beat. I began to dance out in my own wacky style. Soon those that followed me began to dance the grove as well. Person by person people ran to booming box to join in the dance most either teenagers looking for fun or old folks that wanted to relive the past.

“EVERY BODY DANCE NOW!” soon little children began to dance at their parents sides urging them on to join in on the fun. By the end of the song even the suits were dancing to the beat as I packed up my boom box and headed home.
