Browsers Get Paid By The Hour


I'm feeling good today and I even took less anti-nasea medication. I spoke with the doctor as well. He advised me to eat a larger breakfast with the medication. I hope this pattern continues. Also this was my last day on Keppra, the medication that was really messing with me so much and was one of the biggest reasons I had difficulty with schoolwork. It could make the simplist tasks make me feel crazy, but I'm glad I've stopped taking it and it'll be out of my system in a few days. It's hard to express just how joyous I am. I suppose I'll just go for a simple HUZZAH! on this blog post. XD Now onto the flash fiction!

Browsers Get Paid By The Hour


        “Hey guys, how's your day going?” a young Internet browser named Tom said to his fellow coworkers in cyberspace in the lunch room. He remained perpetually chipper despite the fact he never drank cyber coffee. 
       “My user's cheating on his homework again. Just types the question into the search bar and I get the answer for him as usual. How about you guys?”
        “The cat videos.” the browser named Sally said with a tired, crazed look in her eyes. “For hours my user looks at the videos. It never stops. Why won't it stop? Hours of cute cuddly cats. It's the Internet. There are other websites. Why doesn't she look at them instead of them? Why does it have to be cats? Why does she have to look at videos of cute, cuddly cats everyday? For hours on end. Why? I don't care if its dogs instead. Just make it stop.” Sally held back tears as she started eating her cyber lunch. She needed the energy as uploading so many videos took its toll on her.
        “As usual my user has been downloading, um, 'inappropriate content'” Jeremy said with a frown. “I'll just leave it as that.”
       “Yeah, yeah. Well, at least your users do one thing at a time.” Sam said while holding his cup of cyber coffee firmly.“My user had six. SIX chat windows open. Five of them with people that each called her BFFs. BFF means Best Friend Forever. How can you have multiple best friends? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. And worst is that she puts smiley faces everywhere! Does she breathe in air and breathe out smiley faces? And she says lol in response to almost everything! Its like its the only word she knows! If someone says something funny than sure. But her boyfriend says 'I went to the park and saw a friend I hadn't seen in awhile' and she said 'lol'. It doesn't make any sense! How's that funny? I don't get it!” Sam started drinking his cyber coffee
      “Wow, your users sound nuts.” said Jessie a calm browser holding a cyber sandwich. “My user just posted a flash fiction on his blog today.”

  2. I should have seen it coming...but I didn't! Made me gasp out loud at the end there, which isn't something I do often. BRAVO!!
