Desktop image, Dr.
Herbert West holding a
syringe of glowing green,
ready to inject the serum
into a maniacally laughing
severed head,
flashes on the screen
before its replacement arrives
-- blank orange. And
repeat
repeat
repeat
dizzying, the cool and warm light
alternates, strobes across my face
while I try to recall
how I might arrive safely
in safe mode
and send my computer back in time.
Shift+F8
And the flux capacitor hums.
