Thriller
I walked along Michigan Avenue spellbound. I’d been on a few trips to Florida and Tennessee, but this was my first time in the big city. After all, I was a country girl from a small town in Ohio. The energy was palpable. I ran my tongue along my inner bottom lip, scarred from braces, and tugged at the rainbow legwarmers I wore on my arms. Eyes wide with delight, every store window caught my attention with its promise of unexpected treasures. The world was collectively swooning over a superstar, and I was no exception. Everyone, it seemed, had Michael Jackson fever, and the evidence of it was everywhere. From lunch boxes to bubble gum cards, I’d never seen such a frenzy. I was sixteen years old in Chicago on a music-related field trip with some classmates. The year was 1983.
