Bzz bzzz bzzzzz

He tried to bat the fly away from his ear, but his hand wouldn’t move. He tried with his other hand, which moved, but the sound wouldn’t go away. It did sound like something he had heard before.

He cracked open one eye. It was bright. Too bright.
He slowly turned to his right and saw his right hand, in a handcuff, attached to the bed post.

His mouth dropped open in suprise. “Wha wha huh?” he managed to utter.

He turned back to look around the room and saw the source of the familiar buzzing.

There, on the other side of the room was Fizz. In one piece, calmly eating lo mein.

He spun in a circle as his eyes darted to the dark doorways and recesses that always seem to populate alleyways. Where was Fizz? How was he going to explain Fizz’s loss (theft?) to The Company? His ears started to buzz as his heart rate climbed. The brick wall in front of him started to spin.

The last thing he remembered was the blue sky turning black

Then it hit me. Pet overpopulation + ebay. Genius!

Buster the cat hacker

Hello, my name is Buster. People tell me I look like that Sundance Head guy on American Idol. I’m pretty tired today because I’ve spent the day hacking Google in order to make ficlets reach the top of the Google search results for everything from sex to George Bush.

Mission accomplished, I’m off to take a cat nap.

Futility?

Here I am again. November 2004. I don’t trust the rest of the country to vote for the right guy. But I will try anyway. Even though I know I’ll wind up disappointed. Again.
