5th January 2011

Pain! in the head. Ouch! out of bed. Scrambling through a tangle of wires like a scribble attack. Eraser, and fire. Scrawled, perspire. “We push! on! through!”

Buttons – amusing. Keys – enthusing. Switching ports back and forth at raccoon speed. “127.0.0.1!”

Gasp.

“255.0.0.0.”

“E.T. Phone home.”

Ringing, ringing, Not a voice on the other end. Scratching, rustling, fake pen on paper, Movements across a flawed liquid crystal display.

Hit home, Drop the unnecessary baggage. Pick up what’s needed, Infinite connections like a constant supply of water, Use it while it lasts.

“Down for everyone or just me?”

Just you.

Move it.
