MP3 DOWNLOAD: Runtown – Do Me. The flickering fluorescent light of my cramped dorm room hummed a discordant tune to the insistent thrumming of my ancient laptop. Rain lashed against the windowpane, mirroring the frustration bubbling inside me. I needed “Do Me” by Runtown. Needed it like oxygen. The song was the soundtrack to my impending, terrifyingly exciting first date with Ada, a whirlwind of a girl with eyes like melted chocolate and a laugh that could melt glaciers.
My internet connection, however, was less than enthusiastic about assisting my romantic endeavors. It was a dial-up connection, a relic from a bygone era, slower than a snail on tranquilizers. The download bar, a pathetically thin sliver of blue, inched across the screen at a glacial pace. Each percentage point felt like an eternity.
I watched the progress bar with the rapt attention usually reserved for a suspense thriller. Every stutter, every pause, sent a fresh wave of anxiety through me. My phone buzzed—a message from Ada. “Excited for tonight?” it read.
My heart hammered against my ribs. “Incredibly!” I typed back, but the words felt hollow, overshadowed by the agonizing crawl of the download. I paced, muttering encouragement to the unseen data packets struggling their way across the digital highway. I tried clearing my browser cache, restarting my computer, and even whispering sweet nothings to my modem (don’t judge; desperation is a powerful motivator).
The rain intensified, the wind howling like a banshee outside. Inside, the only sound was the relentless whirring of my laptop’s fan and the occasional, agonizing squeak of my chair as I shifted in restless anticipation. Hours ticked by. The download bar remained stubbornly stuck at 98%. My date was in less than an hour.
Then, a miracle. A surge of speed—a digital express train arriving at the station. The bar leaped to 100%. The download was complete. Relief washed over me in a tidal wave. I hastily saved the file, almost knocking over my lukewarm cup of instant coffee in the process.
I shoved my laptop into my bag, grabbing my jacket and sprinting out into the stormy night, the sounds of Runtown – Do Me blasting through my headphones, a triumphant soundtrack to my victory over the tyranny of slow internet. I arrived at Ada’s breathless, a little damp, but armed with the perfect music for a perfect night. The slow internet hadn’t won. And neither had the rain.
