The Last Level Select Beep


The screen glows bright, blue lines dance across it. I press buttons, hoping for the right sound. A deep beep echoes when I hit start on level three. It’s just like in the commercials! I press up and down, trying to pick a stage. The beeps change with each choice, quick and sharp. I want to reach that final boss, but first I must find the right sequence of stages. Each select gives me a new tune—sometimes fast, sometimes slow. The sound is like a puzzle, and I’m trying to solve it.
