I was piloting a horseless carriage, and was obliged by local custom
to stop and pay homage to the red round light where roads intersect,
until it be satisfied and become green. A most novel feature of my
carriage was it's wireless unit, which had switches enabling me to
scan the electromagnetic frequencies for transmissions. Most available
transmissions were abominably pink reconstructions of what was once
perhaps, and lamentably, entertainmaint for those targeted by such.
And so I found myself scanning, and scanning again, until perhaps
something agreeable would audioize itself.
It was at the red round light, that, for a moment, I believed my, and
all elses end had finally come. For my wireless unit had begun to
behave unusually. There exists a switch, which, when one presses it
upward, scans the electromagnetic frequency in increments of tens of
Hertz, and as it finds a viable carrier frequency, will tune in and
recreate the sounds of the originally transmitted signal. In my
locality, some 15 transmission stations exist to be perused.
At this point in space and time, I believed grave danger had
descended. For, as I pressed upward the scanning switch, it proceeded
to tune in to most alien frequencies. A strange buzz, with an ordered
click, at nearly 1/2 Hertz interval, came over my speakers. I pressed
upward the switch again, and instead of jumping, as usual, some tens
of Hertz forward, it jumped only one, and again, my speakers tuned
into the same bizarre transmission. Again and again, I pressed the
switch. From 88.1 Mhz, to some 100.? Mhz, the same transmission, on
all channels.
Something done explode, thought I, and caused the whole world to
radiate this signal. So it begins...
But, the red round light once again permitted a change of position,
and I found the phenomenon at an end. So we continue.
