Sinister: Once upon a time...

[Sunny set]

Once upon a time there was a girl, who despite, or perhaps because of, or 
perhaps incidental to, her love fairy stories, was slightly unworldly in the 
ways of computers. Therefore when the big bad computer company Microsoft 
offered her a free email account with a personalised email address she 
gratefully accepted. Little did she know what evil schemes they were already 
plotting with which to entrap her.

One day when she returned home after a short stint at porridge theft, and a 
trip up a beanstalk she opened her email account to discover an angry 
sounding message from the big bad computer company demanding she delete some 
of her emails. She wept silently at the cruelness of the world, and deleted 
many an email containing magic spells to make her younger or  larger or many 
other things that she was too naïve to understand. When she had done that 
she looked at her nice clean email account and thought:
“There that will keep them happy for a while longer while I  go looking that 
wretched glass slipper of mine…”

But her happiness was short lived and she reeled back in horror as soon she 
realised that the big bad computer company said that her nice clean email 
account had 600kb of emails still in it. Even though she was unworldly in 
the ways of computers she knew that this was a lot of space for nothing to 
take up and she became suspicious.
Days and weeks, months and maybe even years went by and the poor girl was 
haunted by the 600kbs of nothingness.

Then one day, while the girl was getting bored of  being asleep for a 
thousand years and needed to think of another way to put of doing some 
proper work for a while, bravely began to investigate the mystery. For many 
minutes she fought with option settings but to no avail. She dropped 
helplessly to her knees in front of the  and screamed (in a silent and 
sitting down fashion):
“what do you want from me you evil thing!?”
She was just about to give up when she remembered her magic find tool and 
searched for the word @ which is an ancient symbol present in all email 
addresses. Magically lost emails started to appear before her eyes whilst 
the girl look on in amazement.

The emails seemed to have come from a far off land where people wore 
cardigans and worshipped a god called B&S.  She smiled as she remembered her 
own trips to this land. There were stories about the day the B&S gods landed 
on the earth and people from all over the world ran to worship them. There 
were emails containning the words to the scared hymns of the land.  She also 
found stories she had written herself when she had been very sad indeed. But 
most importantly of all she found the kind things people had said in reply. 
Her heart glowed with warmth and fondness for this land and she decided to 
revisit this beloved place.

Many years later she blew up the big bad computer company, and everyone else 
went to live in a gingerbread house, and lived happily ever after.

The End


hope you are all safe and well,
Take Care
