Time-Travelers Have Entered my Home! (***Filler***)
And I thought the time-travelers arrived in the form of strange insects, coughing fits and equipment malfunction...
The Scene of the Crime
"Yes officer, I can assure you I am completely serious here. The time-travelers have entered my apartment. First they physically entered, disguised as some hydro company worker who had to enter my apartment to test the fire alarm or something, in which case they injected nanobots into the electrical wiring of my room, which then, a few hours later, caused my computer to crash!
And then later, the bastards had the bold audacity to pull a practical joke on me by hiding the memory stick I was now using with all my data upon it. I had it in my hand, I put it down, went over to do something else, and then I went to look for it again, but it was somewhere else! The fuckers! They did it! They made me go over to another part of the room to go do something!
And then they're trying to pin it on me that I'm dozey and out-of-it, and that I'm a floozie and irresponsible, and have mental health attention-span issues - just to get me off my guard, thinking it's just me, and not them, that is doing all this. The tricky bastards! But no siree! I'm as sharp as the best kind of pencil there is - the ones that don't break each time you sharpen them!"
"Now why would these, uh, time-travelers want to mess with you, kid?"
"It's obvious! They want me to lose my data! It doesn't matter if I live or die! It doesn't matter what I do on this Earth! It doesn't matter how long I do things on this Earth! But as soon as I make my data transportable... Why else would they time-travel to mess with me, why else would they come out to stop me?!
You can spew out all the data you want to, but as soon as it's transportable, that's when you're a real threat..."
"Okay son, calm down. Has it ever occurred to you that it is not they who are the time-travelers, but you who is the only time-traveler?"
"What?! You aren't supposed to say something different like that! As law-enforcement receptacles, you're supposed to follow pre-supposed parameters! You're supposed to be just a conflicting concept of every person's mind!
Dammit! I thought for sure cops were controlled by time-travelers!
Shit! This screws up everything!"

Again, many apologies for not finishing up my posting (before passing out in my clothes with the lights still on, the laptop still humming and blinking madly away). Why on Earth do I have to burden myself with these horrendously lofty challenges, such as posting something every day for one whole year on this site?! I could just make it easy on myself these days and copy/paste something that I've already typed up from years ago, and then later when I'm unemployed, when I'm not prone to sheer awakeness-failure, I can type away at this new crap for hours and hours... No I always have to do things in the wrong order...
Anyway, this will be the last of a prose fiction posting for a while, back to weird poetry again...
And one of these days when I get through this current notebook, I'll bring out some real verse for you good people... Maybe even some love poems! Goodness!
Thank you.
