The red bulb on the game box flashes. It’s bright and keeps turning on and off like it has a mind of its own. I reach out to touch it, but my fingers just pass right through the glass. Inside, the characters from the game spin around quickly, making fast movements that are hard to follow. The sound is loud and bouncy, like someone is jumping up and down really fast. Sometimes there’s music too, a jolly tune that makes me want to dance even though I can’t see anyone doing it. I press harder on the button next to the red bulb hoping something will happen, but it stays stubbornly still. Outside, birds chirp softly and a car drives by with its windows rolled down, playing music just like inside the game box.
