The Mall Surfing Melody


An afternoon delight made a seashore boy look for some surf somewhere to perform his oceanic show and walking through the outdoor outlet mall filled with scenic advertisements he came across the Yankee keeler sitting in her rented dry cleaning place washing clothes.

“So, do you want my board?” Asked the salesperson in a strange way, “it’s free to hold.”

Brushing off the comment, the customer continued through the market area noticing a guitar performance, “such a nice sound,”

“I may sit here out of the money writing these legato tunes, but they could make someone perseverant and a winner when connecting it with their act.”

Having a burning desire to win Red picked up the song and headed towards the beach, “I will call this ‘The Illuminator' "and will no longer be out of the money,” he thought seeing the water choppy and challenging.

Grabbing a longdog from the food stand the creative choreographed contestant went over to the check-in table, “Here comes Red,” he heard the volunteer say, “are you here to show?”

“Yes, I am,”

“I see you have that boom box. Do you need an outlet place for a charger, blue chip competitor?” The administrators inquired.

“No, I am ready to go,”

Suddenly, a delay announced, reporting the favorite to win Chumlee A seemed held up getting to the show when a patron bargained, purchasing a Magritte original.

“I really needed to get equipment changed,” he told the judges grabbing a number and within a second ran into the water hearing Midnight Lightning played over the loudspeaker.

After the entertaining water competition completed Chumlee A stood on the winning podium with Red scoring a close second. When all the festivities finished Red stepped back into reality seeing Cheyenne Reijayne, “did you make a profit off your songs today?”

“Nope,” Cheyenne Reijayne honestly spoke, “put it back into the community when I stopped by the pawn shop and picked up a nice Magritte colorful composition.”

Laughing Red replied, “you know that transaction created a short pause.”

“I guess the judges accepted Chumlee A’s excuse,”

“Equipment repair he pleaded,”

“That is right the song I wrote Midnight Lightning needed a tune up, and I guess turned out better than ‘The Illuminator’”

“Everyone had a good time,” forgiving Red smiled letting the sunset paint another post card setting.
