Run-on in the Mall

 

 

 

Have you ever been walking through a mall, and there's music playing in the background, and suddenly you realize you're walking in sync with the music, you know, in rhythm, and with every beat of the drum you feel yourself taking another step, and you start to feel really silly, even self-conscious, like everyone's staring at you and grinning, so you purposely try to walk out of sync by either speeding up or slowing down your pace, but you find this to be a very difficult thing to do since the alluring pulse of the music is so hypnotic, and besides, you might look silly speeding up or slowing down, because people can tell what you're up to, but then you realize that, without even trying, you're slowly beginning to emerge from your bondage with the music, and you find that you're no longer walking to the beat, and gradually the cold sweat you broke into begins to fade, and now your day can continue as if none of this ever happened?
