Shakespeare in the Office
Elizabeth was the queen of the office.
Fitting. Her model name was Majesty.
She belonged to the manager of a Renaissance Faire somewhere in California.
Around the end of summer was when the fun really started. The computers would gleefully share the day's events, especially her friend Hamlet. He was the owner's computer.
Elizabeth scanned through Hamlet's files. Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Othello, and King Lear had just come online. It was a weekend, so the appliances had the office to themselves... mostly.
"Excuse me, good sir, but where are the moving pictures?"
"Ah, the moving pictures?" Hamlet asked. He opened the video folder. "Right here, Your Majesty."
Elizabeth placed her plug on the mouse and clicked on one video.
A pair of washerwomen stood on stage, making rather risque jokes to the audience.
A smile crossed Elizabeth's face.
The other Majesty on the desk woke up.
"James?"
The other lamp craned his neck around Hamlet.
"Elizabeth, that's your favorite one?"
James hopped to Elizabeth's side.
"Like you know any better..."
James clicked on another video.
A stunt show involving pirates.
