Bob gasped, gaping at
his computer and at the dreaded blue screen. What the heck?!
His second thoughts were, Oh no!
My dashboard, my blogs!
The previous re-bootings
and warnings had seemed inconsequential at the time. Then, blue screen
panic appeared to be more TV and its tendency toward sensationalism than
truth.
All the bloggers' mayhem
and panic about the hackers who called themselves “the Atomic Crashers”
had finally hit his precious computer. Damn
them!
Humbled, Bob considered
the options. Being non-denominational
when it came to tech repair stores, he tossed a coin: Heads—Best Buy. Tails—Staples.
Every Wednesday, Delores at Under the Porch Light provides bloggers with six challenging words with which to create a short story, poem, prose, or whatever. The underlined words above are this week's challenge. Let me just say, these were not easy.
Please click on the Methodist Church above to access her site and find the other participants. AND read other participants who also tackled this week's words.
hate that dreaded blue screen, save everything just in case, then if it crashes, buy a new one. Cheaper than getting it fixed many a time
ReplyDeleteOne will never regret making back-ups and saving important stuff.
DeleteMay the dreaded blue screen remain fantasy conjured up by bloggers’ challenge; but, just in case, where is that external hard drive?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can answer that one. I keep meaning to buy one.
DeleteThe blue screen of death! I actually know how to fix that in most cases.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great blog post.
DeleteNot the blue screen...noooooooo.
ReplyDeleteWe all get to see at one time or another...Noooooo
DeleteI haven't seen a blue screen since -gosh I don't remember when-, but I'll be running my antivirus programs tonight for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the words!
