Zeitgeist
Colin was watching an episode of a crime drama on his old telly. Suddenly he heard a voice behind him. He turned round quickly. No one.
“Are you still watching that old crap, Colin?” said the spooky voice.
“What? Who’s there?” stammered Colin hesitantly.
“And that cardigan, you’ve had that for years haven’t you?” said the voice.
“Who, who are you?” demanded Colin trying to sound a bit more forceful.
“Me? I’m the Zeitgeist” came the reply, “and don’t you think you should get a bigger television?” it continued.
“What!?” Simon responded in disbelief.
“Just look at this place!” the Zeitgeist continued, pouring scorn on all Simon’s old gear. “When did you last decorate? It looks like the bloody 1970s in here”
Simon sighed. He knew he was simply not cut-out to be fashionable and was therefore defenceless against the taunts of a sarcastic Zeitgeist.
