cassette – Figuring It Out…

To some people, it will sound stupid and that’s alright. But under no circumstances are you allowed to think that this is even the tiniest bit funny.

So, let’s start with the story.

We had a box full of CDs and DVDs and electronic components and etc. So, I opened it in hopes of finding an external webcam. I didn’t find the webcam but I found something better: Cassettes! And a cassette player with it! (They were my dad’s.)

It was love at first sight.

The player didn’t have any batteries and I resolved to get them. But I had to put that resolve on hold until the next day because no shops were open.

The batteries were keeping us apart.

The next day, when I did get the batteries, my beautiful cassette player betrayed me and didn’t work. I, literally, cried (and before you tell me, no, it’s not wrong usage of literally). All my hopes of the cassette player were dashed. I looked so desolate that my mom left me alone for the rest of the day and the work she would normally assign to me was assigned to my sister. Which didn’t lift my spirits, if you were wondering (which you were not.) My dad told me that we would get it fixed after the pandemic stabilizes.

With our modern age of internet, I searched up how to fix cassette players. I learnt a lot about Cassette players and their workings and cassettes. But since I’m a beginner, I didn’t dare try to fix the player.

No matter how much betrayal you face, you still wouldn’t want to hurt your beloved.

So, moral of the story, never ever ever fall in love with cassette players, they always betray you.
