[ WP ] Write a story where the main character is a computer virus .

I hate my job. It always starts off the same way: with some bozo hovering his–or her– mouse over some ad with flashing lights, proclaiming loudly, `` YOU'VE WON! PRESS HERE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!'' And then the download. The best way to describe it is like you're off in the internet, minding your own business, when suddenly someone yanks you down to earth. 
 
 For some reason, it's always so loud inside of these peoples computers, with pictures that yell, `` look at me!'' emails that yell, `` open me!'' internet browsers that yell, `` search me!'' 
 
 And there's always the other viruses, too, doing their dirty work in the silence. Sometimes they talk to me, usually to look down at me, ask, `` what do you do?'' and let out laughter at the answer. I've met viruses that crash computers, that steal bank acconts and credit cards, or just delete data. They all sniker. They all whoosh past. 
 
 Once I even met The Worm. The Worm, a lengend amoung computer viruses, a mass of code and calculus that it must have taken years to program. They only thing I remember about our brief encounter was The Worm's great, silent, looming presense. A presense that made all of the programs stop yelling, that made all the viruses stop their muttering, their stealing, their arson. And then it was gone, off to another computer. 
 
 When I leave, its usually because someone decided to restart their computer, triggering a bug that shoots me back into the cloud. 
 
 Which is nice. That's the only time I can get peace and quiet. That's the only part of my life I do n't spend doing the most useless thing a computer virus can do: make someone's computer run slightly slower.
