I had a dream we were going to build another website again for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you were there,
And you were there,
And (you) were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excitedly, we raced around town in a sedan from one member\u2019s door to another to whisper the news and get them into the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began to reload a Linux operating system on a system and I watched the dots flash across the screen \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026
\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026
\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026
\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hurried off to Ashlyn\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wasn\u2019t home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we\u2019d better not tell her now anyway,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She might not understand or support this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Okay, let\u2019s go.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are already seven of us ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t that enough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Why yes, I reckon that it is.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is she on board?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Uh-huh. She\u2019s using a new nickname and pretending she\u2019s new.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is he on board?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Uh-huh. Him too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(No. She\u2019s already on another site.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s her excuse? I\u2019m on about five of them that I cycle through all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things were going so well, I turned to one of them and said \u201cYou\u2019ve never been here to see a day one activation, have you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She got really quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went back upstairs to resume my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the others came upstairs looking for me and they seemed quite alarmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(\u201cDay one activation.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Why did he say that?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(How does he know what that is?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou need to go to the hospital right now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur movements have torn a hole through you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo downstairs. Right Now. We\u2019re not kidding, we called an ambulance and they\u2019re on the way. You have to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I was confused but I agreed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to the bottom of the stairs and saw the flashing lights outside of the front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I opened the door.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs this him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Hm, I don\u2019t feel so good. I held on to my stomach.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I noticed the trail of blood and I blacked out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
