She was sitting at her desk. Head down. There was
nothing special about her that day. Her long wavy blond hair was falling down
covering her face. Fingers moving rapidly, creating a rhythm of typing
sounds. Faster and faster.
The funny-coloured cat, usually calmly sleeping in her
lap, was now annoyed, craving for her attention but she didn´t even notice the
cat was there. It was like she had a bubble around her head. A weak
sternutation followed. Cat jumped down from the table and left her in a great
displease.
Regardless the cat, she didn´t stop frowning at the
screen. No! This wasn´t the time to give up. She continued. This work was all
that mattered.
Days followed and no guests would stop by. She didn´t
care. All that was in her mind was the work.
Her laptop was moaning and wheezing. At this point it
was very angry at her. It would purposely make some mistake here and there for her;
she would swear, correct the mistake and continue writing the work.
Few more days passed and the laptop was really
annoyed. It started eating her bit by bit. Fingers came first. Blood was
dripping through the keys in the keyboard and continued to the desk and to the
floor.
At first she didn´t even notice but when it came to
the knuckles she became aware of it.
As revenge she brought some greasy food and smeared
the oil and fat all over the laptops back.
Since she didn´t have any fingers on her hands she put
the laptop on the ground, sat there herself and continued in the work with her
bare feet.
Laptop continued in its wicked plan and even though
this was a disgusting job to do, it didn´t stop eating.
Even this was noticed after some time. She had one
last choice. She put a pen between her teeth and with a thought of an amazing success
she CONTINUED...
The last came the tongue
....and the last page to go...
Yet, she couldn´t finish it.
There was nothing left for her and from her. She started crying. Fell down
on the floor, face touching the keyboard. The screen showed: gbakjshhhhhhhhhhhhfddddddddffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
She woke up in a white room. Unable to move. Soon enough
she found out nothing from her body was missing. A man in a white coat was
watching her from the corner of the room.
“Please, keep calm.” Said the man in a low voice. “You
are currently at St Paul´s hospital. We are here to help you.”
She wanted to move but was chained with leather
strips. Then she remembered.
“The work! I need to finish it! It was the laptop! You
need to bring it! I NEED TO FINISH MY WORK!!!”
He glanced at her with a sad look in his eyes, wrote
something down and left the room.
