Sounds of Silence
“Hey, Mouse! Cat got your tongue and your tail?” The Twin Speakers snickered.
Oh, joy, thought Mouse, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. “There’s nothing wrong with me; not every connection do you have to see. I’ll have you know wireless is the way to go.”
“Oh, a poet and didn’t know it!” the Twin Speakers said in unison, laughing, almost falling over.
Mouse sighed. He scooched his pointer over to the bottom right of the screen, resting it on top of the speaker icon. Two clicks later, the Twin Speakers were muted.
The sounds of silence, Mouse thought. Music to my ears.

Censorship is a terrible thing. 😉
Good piece.
haha! Cute story! They got what they deserved. 😀
Sometimes I wish for a mute button myself. Clever piece, Tresha. What a fun read.
When mouse has that much power, it’s best not to annoy him 🙂
Big surprises come in small packages, right?
Hee hee. Go mouse, go. Those speakers are nothing but noise. At least you can do something about it.
Hah, way to go mouse. I love the dialogue, very cute and funny.
Very clever, lovely, believable dialogue.
