Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.

It felt like an entire story about the trials and tribulations of life. Loved the format. Concise. Loved it!
Wowza
could feel the emotion
I can feel the intensity... Good job!!!
Creative and so unique how you did this!! Loved the structure!
Gosh, you're always so creative! This was brilliant!
Dude! This is so cool. An entire story can be imagined here with your words being the names of chapters. I like it.
😁That was so interestingly structured with the /tion/ing pattern. Is that a common thing and I just haven’t come across it before? 🤔
An accumulative list of affects and actions my friend much to think about
That was very interesting!
