Something was definitely wrong. There was only the thunderous sound of buzzing electricity and the chaotic, snowy blur of static. As I neared the corner, I could see a wooly mammoth of a man crouching on his knees, as if praying to god, behind the box which was emitting all this racket. In front of his face on the floor was a small square mirror. He seemed to be spying on what the actual cause of all this noise was. As if receiving a signal from the frequencies which were being transmitted, the man reached inside to grab what appeared to be a long glass tube. His hand slowly, carefully, surrounded this bulbous thing and began to apply pressure equally to all sides. With the swiftness of a viper, he yanked it out and the room that once seemed to be vibrating suddenly came to an immediate halt.
There I sat in anticipation, wondering, waiting. What would become of our beloved television set. Waiting, watching a screen full of snow with periodic flashes of images. Watching, waiting. Suddenly, the television provided a recognizable image. The screen was once again full of color and life. Images moved here and there, and back again. Slowly, my life was starting to return to normal.
