There Are Leash Laws For A Reason

“Not at all – we get many first-timers here and I'm happy to explain. This instrument has been designed to emit subsonic frequencies that stimulate parts of the brain and evoke certain moods and images. For example, if I may, this is a simple melody called 'Sunset at Beach'.”

“Oh!”

“Oh, that is lovely.”

“Thank you. Here is a list of songs I can perform, if you so wish. Note that these are full songs, carefully crafted for a rich and vivid experience.”

“Hmm. 'Road Trip Through Mountains in Autumn'. 'Surfing, Party, Bonfire'. 'Chateau After Skiing'.”

“Wait, wait. Dear - 'Picnic in Park, Interrupted by Thunderstorm'.”

“What? Are you kidding?”

“It's like when he proposed. We'll hear that one.”

“Excellent.”

“Can I ask you though, will there be a lake?”

“Ah, I believe you will perceive just a small pond.”

“Could you add a lake?”

“Unfortunately I cannot take requests. The complexity of these songs make improvisations nearly impossible.”

“Really? You seem quite competent, and I'm betting you have aspirations of being a songwriter. Couldn't you at least give it a try? I can make it worth your while.”

“I really shouldn't, but it's such a slight change... Yes, I believe I can do it. If you insist.”

“Proceed, then, Maestro.”

“Astounding.”

“Wonderful.”

“Truly amazing. The lake and everything. Genius.”

“You are too kind.”

“I have to ask though, why the dog?

“Dog?”

“There was a dog in your song. A stray dog.”

“It was running around like crazy.”

“Yes, ran by, snatched some fried chicken right out of my hand!”

“I am so sorry. Obviously I made an error.”

“Well, no matter. It was a beautiful song.”

“It was. I loved it.”

“Thank you. And sorry for the mistake.”

“Think nothing of it.”

“Please enjoy the rest of your evening.”

“Thank you.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

“Did you see anything?”

“Not really.”

“Me neither. Sometimes I wonder about this place.”
