The Cursor’s Assault

Posted on August 21, 2017September 5, 2017 by Penny Wilson Writes

The cursor skiddered across the page with deliberate purpose. As it dragged me along for the ride, I watched in horror as it snuffed out his life. It was merciless and I was unable to stop it. The callousness with which it struck was appalling, yet I was forced to witness the brutality. I was powerless to do anything but watch as the cursor concluded its bloody assault.

My heart is pounding. My hands shake above the keyboard. I add the final period, hit Enter and end the scene.
