Den Scene
Dad leaned back from his laptop to pantomime catching a fish.
Quietly laughing then to Astella, who resumed looking out the window.
Neither saw Detectives Haller and Jasso.
The former eventually reaching in and closing the laptop.
Put it under his arm.
The latter, a former Crimson Tide Football center,
lifted Dad by the elbow.
Astella noticed now.
But the three left so quickly!
She just stared out the window once more, eventually into the space the squad car had vacated.

Bits of Fate
On a Cyber Afternoon
It instructed “Click here to listen twice to the selection.”
Rappy misunderstood and clicked twice, and the screen
went black.
Then the message:
You’ve been had by
Mysterioso-Cyber-Excello.
But the Government as quickly intervened.
Your system is restored
and MCE arrested.
Then the questionnaire. Would you like him
a) jailed indefinitely b) lectured and let go c) executed.
Enough was enough. Rappy ticked c.
Then thought he’d been too hard, and endeavored to change his vote.
Nothing doing. They had strapped the miscreant
to a gurney, and injected hm with the latest fatal juice.
All channels covered it, even the Quilting one.
Which, also replayed it more than the others,
superimposed on a quilt.
