the feeling of despair 
and sadness seep 
through my brain,

slowly creeping into 
the back of my mind, 
leading my thoughts

to a sudden stop.

oh.

my hands rush to 
the tissues, taking 
two or three at once.

hurriedly wiping at 
the spilled coffee that 
quickly spread over my 
computer.

the screen flickers 

on to off
off to on

screen flickers once more,
before giving a sigh, 

                         a sputter, 

and then black.
