A 60 word story.

Instantly, her whole word vanished.

Her contacts with friends and family all gone. Her latest novel destroyed. Her main source of entertainment ceased; her music silenced, movies still, games ended. All her photographic memories wiped out in a moment. She no longer knew where she should go or when.

She had relied on her computer and now it had crashed.

    Painfully true!

    Cheers, Helen. This could be autobiographical as I get in a panic if the internet seems slow to respond. I’d be a complete wreck if the computer crashed.
