In the same vein as Twitterature (http://www.twitterature.us/) LFCTV hosted a Twitter Haiku contest. Mine was actually two haikus melded into one, but I still made it in under 140 characters.
"Pray for us sinners"
Rosary tight in my hand.
Gerard takes the kick,
Big and fucking hard.
Keeper hesitates too long.
Thine is the kingdom!

Office Zombie
I audited payroll all day today. I sat in the office, purple pen in hand, and added up times worked, corrected errors, and signed off on time cards for 8 hours. Every time I signed and dated a time card, every time I made the 2 ones after the 9, I would pause and be reminded of all the people eight years ago today who were working in their offices, doing mundane office tasks like zombies, no different than any other day at any other office. Until a plane came smashing through their building and the payroll drifted down from the sky, turning to ash as it fell to the streets stories below. And the office zombies were no more.
