Turns out my overbearing boss had IT install

  • Turns out my overbearing boss had IT install a keystroke recorder on my keyboard a while back. Something must have really triggered an alarm because at 4:20 this morning, a SWAT
  • team shouted, "4:20!" and the entire team smoked three pounds of grass. They were stumbling through our building on a search and destroy mission looking for Hostess fruit pies and
  • cheating on their boyfriends without realizing it. The marijuana-laden team continued spouting drug-addict tropes, syncing random music with random films and trying to smoke other
  • things like coffee and banana peels. The cheerleaders slumped back in beanbags and watched 'Beach Blanket Bingo' while listening to Kraftwerk. They were stoning the wrong way.
  • But they were folding stories all day and night, making life easier to tolerate. It was better than riding the subway in any event! The Subway Slasher was at large.
  • s/he'd s/ashed the J-/ine and the rear-end / was in trundd/ed into a dead end in Cana/ street. The cars were empty (so / thought). The /ight flickered strobe/ike as / exited.
  • Evidently, | need a better exit strategy, because once | freed myself from forward slash hell, | found myself inadvertently stuck with a vertical bar. |t really did sting, too
  • |t only needed a backflip & a promise of a promise of marriage & I was free of it,at last. I was ecstatic I ran along the beach, the sun setting. Then I remembered that look on her
  • face that day in the rain, when they finally found us. "Honey, I am not your father. We are not your parents. Your mother-, we took you from the hospital the night you were born."
  • I simply stared at him then. These were people I had known all my life, the people who had raised me. And how foreign they seemed then, how strange. I took a deep breath and ran.
