Evil Floppy Disks

            Nire gnashed her teeth contentiously, her blithe mood gone in a snap.  No one coveted the position of Jander, who stood next to the wrathful girl.  They hoped to have a respite from her anger, but apparently, they would not.  There was going to be retribution for something.

            "I hate my life," Nire growled, her baseball cap askew on her disheveled hair.  "This is (beep) lamentable," she professed.

            "Aye," Jander acquiesced.  "But don't looks so crestfallen - it wasn't that long."

            "Shut the (beep) up," she swore viciously.  "You know, I am an exponent for forever ridding the world of essays.  I'm at the vanguard of that movement."

            "It'll be okay, M'ija.  Mr. LaChapelle will fix it."

            "No he won't!  This is an insuperable problem!"

            Jander's pet hyper-snake snaked by sinuously, allured near buy the enticing sounds of an eminent fight.

            Garrulous, the elf was not.  A wastrel of words would be a misnomer for him.  But now he talked, trying to calm Nire.  "So what if the disk ate half of your essay?  Don't you have an extra day?  You can write it, easy.  You're good at essays!"

            "Bull dren!" she shouted.  "I curse the gods for doing this!"

            A sonorous voice came from the skies.  "Do not curse us; it is not our fault you buy cruddy disks."

            "Bite me," Nire sneered and strode off down the hall, muttering, "Mr. LaChapelle better be able to get this stupid first half off this stupid disk…"

(A/N:  You know that when there's a real person in these, there's a story behind it.  So, what's the story behind this one?  Well, Mr. Myers had us write an essay on To Kill a Mockingbird, and I chose the hardest one.  I got the first half written out during Computers, since I was all done with my work.  I saved it to a floppy, went home, and the damn thing had eaten it!  It was the best work I ever did, and I had to rewrite it, because Mr. LaChapelle couldn't retrieve it.  I was so pissed.  But then I got a 99 on the paper anyways, so, it wasn't a total disaster.  Thanks for reading!  Go review!)
