Fear And Paranoia Got The Best Of Me

by Auracle

I thought I'd been the victim of a cyber attack:

The screen stayed black and I couldn't get it back. 

So I spent all night in dread and fear:

wondering what to do, if the screen was through. 

 

It was just a loose wire, as you can see.

Fear and paranoia got the best of me. 

So the moral of the story: don't think so gory

Or did the pot make me lose the plot?

 

I'm back...
