The day the grid went down, many were trapped

The day the grid went down, many were trapped in their home entertainment bunkers. I was out and about, surrounded by lost, panicky people going through early withdrawal. Linkless

and lawless types like me where suddenly at an advantage. After my sentencing for digital trespassing, I was uncoupled from the net & became self sufficient. My neighbour knocked.

It was late in the afternoon and I she had not received a formal invitation. I was dismayed by the lack of proprietary that is now what we call polite society. My neighbour stood

because there's always some owl or something to take pity on the poor stunted benders and carry them off hie and non. King Friday died from internet usage.
