He stared at the screen in dismay, as the results of the tragic error revealed themselves. His beloved work was gone, swallowed by oblivion. He had carelessly neglected to make back ups of his work, and entrusted the safety of his only copies to a writer's website. He thought this was a good idea. He thought wrong.
His fist was clenched and he gritted his teeth in rage. This was all their fault! It must be! He began to formulate a plan. He would punish them, but how? Suddenly the idea came to him, and a smirk appeared over his red face. Enraged, he opened up a competition and poured his hate and anger into it. He fiendishly crafted his insults, and mocked them. He called forth a number of expletives as if they were hellfire, then he laughed. Surely everyone would join him in his walkout, in protest over this heinous crime! They didn't. He failed to destroy the website. He failed at life.
This isn't a serious work, so you don't need to reply. It was created to submit to a fake competition, which was opened in revenge by a member who then closed his account.

Well, I rather enjoyed it! I stumbled upon this hideous contest and thought to myself, "Self, who is the idiot in this plight?" The answer was quite simple! HE IS!
The site is not to blame for his negligence in NOT saving his works to CD or to a Word Processing program!
Then again, his screen name says a lot about his mentality...Finger pointing began a long time ago in a garden...
The women you gave me, she made me eat it...HAH! the serpent, it's his fault - he beguiled me!...
haha! i saw that "contest" and i thought the exact same thing you did... i mean its one thing to be mad that the site lost your work, but you didnt make copies?!? what kind of writer are you? even just for copyright reasons, that should be one of the first things you do!
Lol I rather enjoyed this little story. Serves the idiot right for not having a backup. I bring mine onto here from what I already have typed up on my desktop lol. I is smart! :P
Haha! I love this! Short and simple. I think we will be a happier community with one less nay-sayer. And if he didn't back up his work somewhere else, then it is his own fault he lost everything.
xD, I found the competition freakishly funny too, it is just completely HILARIOUS. Using a competition, and omg seriously it wouldn't work. I was about to write something like this too, but you've done it xD.
Sad, but very true. There are a great many people {too many} who will always blame others for their own mistakes.
I had to shake my head when I read that "contest", then my eyes bugged out when I saw that people actually submitted something, and laughed when I read this {looks like I'll be reading the other "entries" as well - LOL}. You should think of doing more like this, it's quite a talent. Just think of all the political crud going on and the clowning that could be done {beyond what the late night hosts already do, that is}.
Just goes to prove that if you don't know how the internetworks you shouldn't use it. I pity him honestly but not enough to even acknowledge his problms. He has no one to blame but himelf.
I couldn't even get what the issue was. A system crash? I wouldn't have gotten that upset, I usually do backup my best poems, even if I hadn't...It is just poetry.
I've always wanted to be a writer, and tried out a few short stories when I was in college. My friends enjoyed them, and passed them onto their friends, until a number of people I didn't know had read.. more..
