I wrote another (very) short story. Anyone who has ever worked in an office will appreciate it. The story is dense, some themes include: human psychology as we are only sure of two things, a) we are alive, b) we will die, as opposed to pieces of electronical equipment like computers. The natural resistance a normal person would have to confinement, computers, artificial structures ect..., and the distorted perceptions of reality people develop in reaction to pain. This giving away too much already. Anyways the link is below

My Computer

Have you ever read or seen the play "The Adding Machine?" I saw it--a very well done version of it--and it applies to many of the themes in your story in a different way. Nice work. I'm more of a story person myself rather than a poet.

slskenyon,anonymous, and brain, I appreciate all the feed back.

slskenyon-- no, I have not seen the play, but I will be wikipediaing it. You're not alone in your preference of short story over poetry. I completely understand

anonymous-- I dont know what to tell you, what dont you get?

Brain-- the story is about a man, and his computer "My Computer" ;)
