Yes. I must confess. I must relieve myself of this horrible burden. I cried when I tossed the typewriter! I cried darnit. It was like saying goodbye to an old, dear, loyal friend. The kind of a friend who never let you down. The kind of a friend who was always there for you.
I remember the event like it was yesterday....... It was the morning after a dark and stormy night. The sun rose early as it usually did, the sun glistening off the damp streets like a desk lamp off of a custom built PC with an aluminum case. The dank smell of the morning hung in the air like the smell of a Mac laptop, fresh out of the box.
