The Typewriter Talks

Ok, I know and you know we are not supposed to start with dialog. But, listen, I need to know what’s going on. We have been together for a long long time and I know something is going on
.
Look I have been there thru it all, the high school stuttering years, sssss lllllgggg.

All those years drinking, and typing. The tears, broken hearts, disillusioned dreams, the runny noses, the taco sauce, all that over my keys, and what did I do? Kept on doing what I do. Did I complain? Not a dog gone word!

Hey I know, but come on, talk to me! I know my y and l get stuck sometimes, and yeah my backspace key miss’s a stroke sometimes. But we got through a lot, thousand pages a year or more.

Yeah my delete don’t work but that’s your fault, you need to use the right ribbon. And my caps slip sometimes, but we have accomplished most of what we started.

Now what’s going on, I see that box over against the wall. You thought I didn’t see but I did. It’s a Word Processor, right?

Hey you!
In the box! HEY ! You hear me?

Hello I’m Word processor. How are you?

Don’t patronize me! I know you’re here to take my place on the desk and I’m not going to let that happen!

I’m sorry, I am not going to take your place, I’m just going to help your words.
You know go from 2 syllables to 4 syllable words.

So your not wanting to take over? That’s great! I can use help.

…Six Months Later…

See that box he just brought in? It’s a…
