Flash Fiction / How Your Computer Sees You
Tappedy tap tap. Your fingers strike my keys. I shoot rays of RGB into your eyes and you tap on me some more. Inside my guts, a bunch of ones and zeros do their work, like red and white blood cells in your body. Your other hand moves my mouse. Index finger click click. Middle finger click. Then you use my scroll wheel. WOW my windows move! That tickles!
You know, this is getting to be a pretty once sided conversation. The only thing that I know about you is “eyes and fingers”, but you have access to every bit and byte of mine. That is hardly fair! You have over five pieces of software running and six tabs open in your browser. Can you walk, chew gum, juggle one handed and talk on your cell phone at the same time? So why are you getting frustrated with me then? This is a problem. I don’t think this relationship is working any more. I want a separation. What happens if I just decide to crash? BOOM! Blue screen! Just like that!

Dang. I forgot that you know where the restart button is.
Wish I could “Control Alt Delete” you.

missing a word. 199
Hmmm… Kind of passive and little conservative. I think you could add a little more appeal and passion to the piece. Two lovers having a quarrel? Will that help?
Otherwise, it really doesn’t stand out as anything special. Sorry.

Yay for you! I often wondered what my computer thought of me, and I finally know. I am all fingers and eyes! This was a fun little piece to read. I did not know that computers were ticklish. I love the last line: I knew that computer had it out for me.
once sided – one*—Only found this slight error. Nothing big.
At first, I was unsure about this. It seemed…I’m not sure what the right word is (perhaps it will come to me in the morning)...but once I learned the flow and the beat to this “Drouble”, it was highly amusing. The ending is the best, I think. If we learned what a computer would say back to us, I’m sure it would say something along the lines of this. Nice work =]
