When I wake up and it's illegal day, I fold up the old box that separated Maxes side of the container from mine. I empty Max's old container. There is an ancient mp3 player with almost every illegal song downloaded onto it. I put it in a plastic, watertight bag, and brought his waterproof speakers with it. Then I grab the charge stick. I stick it into the waterproof bag. He had $17.59 in his money pouch. Mostly wood and stone coins.
We can spend it on illegal things at the illegal day fair, an even better smack to the royals. Last thing in his container was a thick blanket. How he had such nice stuff is beyond me, illegal music must be limited.I turn on the wireless speakers,stick the charge stick into the mp3 player, and hit play. The song was fairly recent, called 'Glass Heart' and I've heard it somewhere before.
It was written by a pop star named Abigail Starshot, and it's one of those songs that just have a good tune, no point to the lyrics really.
Anyway, the song was really catchy. I'm walking down the street with illegal music blairen, singing off key like a rebellious teen, screaming out the lyrics to an illegal song.
"BABY, I DON'T WANNA FIGHT YOU,
BUT YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD SPITE YOU,
LIFE ISN'T A GAME TO PLAY
A PLEASURE YOU HAVE EVERY DAY
SURE, THERE'S PLACES OUT THERE,
SOMEWHERE,
AND ALL I WANNA DO IS GO, GO GO!
OOOOOOOH
So maybe I have a heart of glass.
Maybe one day it'll pass
I THOUGHT I HAD A HEART OF STEEEEAAAAL!
WHAT'S A GIRL SUPPOSED TO FEEEEL,
BUT NOW I KNOW I HAVE A HEART OF GLASS
AND THOSE FEELING OUGHT TO LAST
LESSONS LEARNED,
WISDOM EARNED
Maybe it's just how people feel,
when love doesn't make an appeal."
It was really funny because people were staring at me because I had this song, and I enjoyed it. I could tell some people though wanted to sing with me. I got to the dock just as the song ended. The boats were as big as , wait no, bigger than a house. They were about 5 stories tall, and, well, HUGE!
Everyone liked my idea of a music selection on this trip. I sent our speed-runners to get waterproof illegal supplies. They came back with beef jerky instead of say, weapons? But I'm sure nobody minded the extra food, we know that we will run out. We bought a dozen smokers, teriyaki sauce, and powdered milk along for the ride as well, not to mention the million pounds of fruits and thousand pounds of vegetables. Not literally of course, but you know what I mean. It was enough to last at least 400 days, assuming we all make it, and don't find more food and/or water. We also have quite a few plants since fruits and vegetables rot.
It was already windy at the port, but today was the only day we could go for another year. I don't think it would remain a secret much longer.
