My computer has a gremlin infestation. I know because one started talking to me.
“That was delicious,” it left on one of my documents. “Syrupy poetry.”
“Rather dry,” it complained, gnawing on a tax file. “There’s no story.”
“Needs fewer adverbs,” it grumbled, slurping down an e-mail.
“Ooh, tasty snack!” it added, crunching my Twitter feed.
Things got so bad that I installed anti-gremlin software. But that only seemed to encourage them. Finally, I trapped them in a neverending loop of a computer-generated document that writes “The Song That Never Ends” forever.
Now, if only that one would stop singing…
Author’s Note: I once had a computer that liked to randomly crash and delete things. I named it The Horror. When it had eaten several of my short stories, it was time to get rid of it.
Wonderful! Thanks for this one.
Great. Now I will be singing that song all day! I liked the Drabble though.
This one put a smile on our faces, which meant we had to publish it. 😀
