*tap tap tap tap tap….. taaaaaaaaap* -sound of keyboard tapping
In a dark room, a girl can be seen with a depressed and frustrated mood with stiff fingers stuck on an old laptop keyboard with a blank white screen.
The girl constantly cursed on her mind as she was stuck on a dilemma. Her fingers started to move, and words started to appear on the black white screen but suddenly stopped and started erasing it again. This action was repeated, again and again until the girl finally had it and banged on her table knocking a glass of water into her precious old laptop.
'My laptop!'
" Damn it!"- Kathy shouted when she saw her soaked old laptop. This was her only treasure as she bought it in the Chinese buy and sell store, although it was old and dilapidated it was still working and has supported her schoolwork.
Seeing her effort with collecting plastic bottles to earn the money to buy this laptop goes off like an extinguished cigarette butt. Kathy kicked her table when she her feet got caught on the charger wire that is still connected to electricity and accidentally slipped
She tried to support her body with her hand, but her hand touched nothing but air as she slipped and banged her head on her soaked laptop on the process.
The laptop blank white screen turned black like her vision.
Minutes passed and suddenly the laptop restarted again, and green codes flashed on the black screen. Blood can be seen on the keyboard and there was also traces of it on Kathy's swelling nose.
Slowly regaining her consciousness Kathy groaned on the floor and got her vision back. Seeing her messy state with her nose hot and sticky blood on it, Kathy cursed on her mind.
