A Short Story
A Surprise on a Wednesday Afternoon

On a trip across Europe we spent some time in Austria. While walking thru Vienna’s center of town near St. Stevens Cathedral we became aware groups of young people, dressed in black coming into the square from a number of directions. It seemed odd and appeared something was going on. As several boom boxes began to play music they began to dance…
After only a few minutes it was over and the group drifted away in all directions just like they had come.
Walking away we realized it was our very first “flash mob” experience and it seemed our day had gotten a little brighter.
