Bloggur Word Verification

Shadows crept across the wall.

I sat down with a hiss.

Their computer screen lit up and mocked me.

The two, black works were Canal geshaltr,  I was positive. That’s why I typed CANAL (space) geshaltr.

Click. Enter.

The screen changed.

I didn't prove I wasn’t a robot.

My resolve weakened.

I Clicked the orange “B.” Had Bloggur changed its Word Verification Codes?

Had a non-writer re-written the Codes to fix what wasn’t broken?

In my head, the WVC chuckled and spat out bull shoot

The near illegible word was BlackWhite’d and wrapped around a gloomy darkground – like my mood – considering I wanted only to post “Great writing – thanks for sharing."

I typed the truth: bull sheet.

Again. No proof. I was still a robot.

I quit comments. Why bother, it’s too hard.

Noise outside. Close.

Two pencils of light swam underneath the rattling door.

Blogmen!

“Stop, or we will delete!”

The square, red desk phone rang once.



Can you hear the roar?

Scanning the grey, undisturbed office, I lingered on a happy family unit framed forever in the past.

Clicking the hibernate button, I grabbed the pen and Ream of Paper.

Thus, we were armed.

We would be heard.

The familiar roar – everything faded.
