In a traffic jam.  Suddenly my wipers start bouncing.  Car to my right is playing incredibly loud music.  I roll up my windows.  It doesn’t help—car to my left is doing the same.  My ears feel like they’re bleeding.  Open my eReader.  Magic flash.  I hear the soft strains of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” floating through the air.  Drivers turn their heads in wonder, trying to guess at the source of the music.  The drums hit, and Whitney’s voice goes full blast:  “AND IIIIIIIIIII-iiii-IIIII….”  The earth opens up below the Music Offenders’ cars and glistening tentacles emerge from an infernal red pit.  They’re carried screaming into the depths of the Ninth Ring.
