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!

and panic about the hackers who called themselves “the Atomic Crashers”
had finally hit his precious computer. Damn
them!

the options. Being non-denominational
when it came to tech repair stores, he tossed a coin: Heads—Best Buy. Tails—Staples.

Delores handed the baton over to other bloggers. The Wed. Words are a challenge now continued by:
