The card that went on and on and on
[journal]
There is this freakish musical anniversary card that has been playing outside in the garbage can for the past few days. It's one of those cards that turn on when you open it up, only difference is this one is on all the time. The first time I noticed it with my sister, she smashed it with her foot and it stopped playing music. Later on at night I was watching TV, it came alive again. I had to put on my jacket to go outside and stomp on it with both my feet repeatedly. I was sure I stopped it for good. I was sure it was dead.
The very next morning when I went outside it was still playing. The sound was all warped and the song was unrecognizable, but it was still playing its annoying tune. I decided to ignore it. Days passed and I was trying to watch a movie inside the house and now the card had come back at full strength, blasting its song, as if time helped it recover its strength. I went outside and tried to smash it with a shovel but it wouldn't shut up, so I threw it as far away as I could. Anyways, I told my sister that if mankind could somehow harness the power of that card we could solve the world's energy crisis. If it has that much conviction to play its stupid song, I say go ahead.
