the speakers that gave music

More than 6 months ago I leeched on a laptop purchase to get a discount on a pair of speakers.

They cost $100, I knocked it down to $80.

Purpose? Revenge.
I promised that I would combat the noisy weekend mornings where our neighbours would shrill at each other across the corridor whenever I was trying to sleep in.

My $80 discounted speakers never really saw the light of day. They sat, lonely, unopened by the wall of my bed. My neighbours continued their piercing exchanges, and I was $80 poorer without any output from my purchase.

Until 6 months later, when I had the unexplainable urge of unboxing them.

And now I've given up my favourite hangout spot - my couch - just to sit at the rickety wooden table. Where I'd plug the speakers in and get my music fix.

And that was when they became a separate entity instead of being "the speakers that came with the laptop". 

Life goes on.
