*bzzit*

Lights flash briefly, just long enough for me to get a view around me. Long, dank hospital corridor. Light to puke greens. Steel doors. Tiles. Great. Hospital? Nuthouse? Prison?

Ever tried to walk in the dark? And I don't just mean dark, I mean pitch fuckin' black? It ain't easy, especially after

*KEEE-RACK*

A nice 2 second lightning flash illuminates the deck of the aircraft carrier I'm standing on. Then blackness, not even a star to be seen. Joy, now I'm down on my knees, feeling around so I don't walk off the side of the thing.

*KA-BOOM*

My hand graps the edge of a sea of asphalt as the light from the explosion shines overhead. I have just enough time to look around, at the tanks and the planes and the soldiers and the rolling dirty landscape.

Stupid! I didn't look down over the edge, so I don't know how far it is to the ground. Doesn't matter, I probably won't be here long anyway.

*fizzle-schizz*

Someone strikes a match. I'm face to face with Hello Kitty. She puts a finger over her non-existent mouth. Hush. She goes to get something out of her backpack, and

*CLICK*

A man, standing at a light switch. A man in black. I want those shades. He motions me to sit down at the table in the middle of the room. I take a look at my surroundings. Nice, sparse interrogation room. White walls, white carpet, walnut brown table. I take my seat.

"We've been trying to get you back for quite some time now. You haven't exactly been cooperating, but that can't be helped."

"What's going"

"on?", I ask the darkness. I'm still seated. At a different desk. In an office. On a dark and rainy night. I get up to look out the window. Metropolis. Gotham. Something like that. Not a soul in sight. Just the buildings, the night, and the rain. I start to walk out of the small room, when the phone rings.

It really shouldn't freak me out as much as it does. I'm terrified of answering, but I know I have to. I pick up the receiver and listen.

"Don't move. We're sending someone to get you right now, just sit tight."

Stupid me, I go to the door and open it to look out at the

cavernous high bay filled with machinery. I turn around to see a bathroom. I turn around again to see a rolling meadow, tall grass, and a small lake. Time for a nap on the shore.

This will only make sense to one or two of you.

Figured out how to edit the disklabel so I could mount my dos D: drive under OpenBSD. It had previously been an "unused" partition. Seems to work ok.

This was one of the major problems I had using OpenBSD on this computer, since D: is where I keep all my video files like tv shows and movies and such.

Murray and Esther, a middle-aged Jewish couple, are touring
Chile. Murray just got a new camera and is constantly snapping
pictures. One day, without knowing it, he photographs a top-secret
military installation. In an instant, armed troops surround Murray and
Esther and hustle them off to prison.
They can't prove who they are because they've left their
passports in their hotel room. For three weeks they're tortured day
and night to get them to name their contacts in the liberation
movement.. Finally they're hauled in front of a military court,
charged with espionage, and sentenced to death.
The next morning they're lined up in front of the wall where
they'll be shot. The sergeant in charge of the firing squad asks them
if they have any lasts requests. Esther wants to know if she can call
her daughter in Chicago. The sergeant says he's sorry, that's not
possible, and turns to Murray.
"This is crazy!" Murray shouts. "We're not spies!" And he
spits in the sergeants face.
"Murray!" Esther cries. "Please! Don't make trouble."
