One In a Row of Ten Clunk! Here I go again. Belting out another performance on Molly’s Sony Stereo System. The speakers are four feet high with a twelve inch woofer. The sound that floats out of these speakers is loud and thumping. Molly and her friends can’t get enough of my fun music and cool vibes. She presses the button and I am alive and happy to be the spotlight of the evening. Here comes my favorite part of being a cassette- the heads are bobbing, the hands are clapping and the feet are tapping. Once I hit the...

Stillness. I have always felt this was my sixth sense. The world is a loud open space. Spaces filled with people talking and eating, driving and honking. Spaces filled with dogs barking, fans cheering and radios blasting. The everyday life of a normal person is cluttered with constant noise starting with the wake-up alarm and then onto the daily news.
