[ WP ] Something entirely normal , that happens every day , continues to happen . But there is a terrifying truth behind it . I do n't want to be creative you just do it for me

I sat down at my PC and stuffed my tie into my shirt. 
 
 I hate when it gets in the way of my typing and I ’ ve gotten into the habit of stuffing it in my shirt to keep it from swinging around. My mind drifted to last night and how late I actually got in `` Never again'' I thought as I sipped my coffee and waited for my hangover induced headache to disappear. 
 
 I reached over and pressed the ON switch on my computer. 
 
 Nothing happened. 
 
 “ Damnit ” I said out loud “ not today, not today ” I mumbled as I pressed the button over and over again. 
 
 I grabbed the phone and called IT. 
 
 “ Hello ” a voice said, the voice was muffled and I could tell he was eating something. 
 
 “ Hi, this is Edward down in accounting, my computer won ’ t turn on ” I said pressing the button on and off. 
 
 “ Have you tried restarting the PC? ” he said in a bored, monotone voice. 
 
 “ It… it won ’ t turn on man ” I said bewildered. 
 
 “ You need to do first level resolution before I can assist sir ” he said. I could hear the draining sound of him sucking liquid through a straw. The sound you make when you ’ ve reached the bottom of a Mcdonalds soda. 
 
 “ But it won ’ t turn on! ” I yelled, my headache throbbing. 
 
 “ Sir ” He said now paying attention “ I am not your verbal punching bag, please calm down or I will disconnect this call ”. 
 
 “ Sorry ” I said as I took a deep breath “ What do I do? ” 
 
 “ Please try logging into the computer and running the online diagnosis program ” He said 
 
 “ It won ’ t turn on ” I said through clenched teeth 
 
 “ Sir I don ’ t understand, the program will not turn on? ” He asked as he swallowed dramatically. 
 
 “ No ” I said slowly “ the computer will not turn on. ” 
 
 “ Have you tried Turing it on and off? “ he asked and took another bite of something. 
 
 Something inside of me snapped and I slammed the phone down. I reached up and kicked the PC over and it hit the ground with a loud bang. The front console cracked open and out fell a small doll. 
 
 `` A small Doll, that ’ s really odd'' I thought as I leaned over and picked it up. 
 
 It was a doll of a gnome, kinda like the old TV show “ Dave the Gnome ” from the 80s red hat and all. The doll felt limp and warm in my hand. 
 
 The doll coughed. 
 
 I jumped back and dropped it. 
 
 “ Please ” the Gnome asked and reached up “ Please put me back in the computer ” 
 
 “ What…? ” I asked dumbfounded. 
 
 “ Please, I must intergrade with the circuits and make it work ” He coughed out and reached weakly to the PC “ I must… ” 
 
 I picked him up and looked inside the computer; there was a small harness and helmet for him. 
 
 “ Will you make my computer work if I did? ” I asked. 
 
 “ Yes, by the All-Motherboard I will ” he nodded and pointed to the PC. 
 
 I picked him up and gently helped him get in the harness and hooked him up. His eyes glowed crimson and the PC came to life. I put the cover back on, lifted the PC back onto the desk, and started to get to work. 
 
 “ So that ’ s how they work ” I said under my breath. 
 
 The next week, I put in my application for the IT department.
