Quote #572
As the fading light of a dying day filtered through the window blinds, Roger
stood over his victim with a smoking .45, surprised at the serenity that
filled him after pumping six slugs into the bloodless tyrant that mocked him
day after day, and then he shuffled out of the office with one last look
back at the shattered computer terminal lying there like a silicon armadillo
left to rot on the information superhighway.
