Instant Messaging

When I see the message down the bottom of the window saying "_____ is typing a message"
I eagerly wait while staring at the window in suspense.
And then nothing arrives
I feel thoroughly disappointed.
I feel myself falling
Down into a pit of misery
With scorpions in it.

I think to myself "Why?"
"Why would you do this to me?"
"Why would you hurt my feelings in such a brutal, unforgivable manner?"

And I then remind myself
"You probably accidentally left a bit of punctuation in the text field"
And I feel better
Like a sudden ray of sunshine
Bursting through a heavily clouded sky.


*I am probably too bored if I can think up things like this. It was all on the spot, actually typed while talking to Quantum Banana on Steam. I added the line breaks afterwards.
