hey i was writing a short zombie fic and i needed help with a transition. when the dead start rising i wanted it to be announced on the radio but the main character doesnt listen and changes the channel. so really i want him to be flipping through channels and hearing the beggining of each one but have it be cut of but i dont know how to flip through channels without it being akward. can someone help?
