Ficlets

Snapping Back

Snapping out of the haze, I locate the address and search for the other information I need. They gave me only 1 gb of storage so I have to be picky. Thankfully, you’d be surprised what can fit in the span of 1000 mb. The Tao of Jeet Kun Do is only 22 mb. I like to keep that on hand as a “just in caseâ€? but I don’t need fighting style right now, I need stealth. A few old texts, transcribed of course, discussing ancient ninja techniques on remaining unseen will do. Oh, and there is a new single from Fall Out Boy, might as well grab that too. Now the fun part. I feel the information surge through every one of the wires. My skin turns a shade red and I can feel the heat radiate. My arms were still wet from the rain so I know there is steam rising from them. I wish I knew what it looked like. I haven’t ever seen it. My eyes are rolled back so far I think I can see the hair on the back of my neck. I don’t think it even hurt this much when this blasted equipment went in. Aw crap, I think I just threw up.
