Poor Little Billy Bob
(A 50 word tragedy by @sircork for a story contest presented by #fiftywords)
Two days passed since he went outside.
The curtains drawn, preventing monitor glare.
No sleep in days and only some old, cold pizza 28 hours ago.
Coffee fueled his fingers. Code filled his brain.
"Just need to delete these log files and it's done."
"Oh crap, not delete all!"
I learned about this contest through noticing another participant's entry.
