Bzzz!
Silence.
Following a faint voice, the surroundings grew silent.
The static from the TV crackled through the silence of the living room, echoing like the soft buzz of a mosquito.
Kyle and Zoey stopped at the sight of the TV, their bodies growing tense.
Though the screen was filled with static, a faint image flickered through. An old town rendered in a cartoonish style, painted mostly in shades of yellow. Figures appeared beside the houses, smiling and waving directly at the screen.
The two stood like that, staring at the smiling and waving figures.
Bzzz!
The image reflected across their pupils as the TV continued to buzz.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The rain tapped.
Bzzz!
The TV buzzed.
Kyle and Zoey stood in silence, staring at the TV as though entranced.
And then—
"Mr. Jingles says~ Take a step."
A soft voice whispered in their ears.
Both Kyle and Zoey took a step.
"Mr. Jingles says~ Take another step."
Kyle and Zoey took another step.
