The Blurry Lines - A Short Story

I found this thread in much delight as I love reading short stories which finish before one has to leave reading in the middle to take a leak. I tried to read what was written but had to waste 5.36 precious minutes adjusting the screen and then my chair pose, for your bold, italicized and underlined text was not helping without much strain to serve the poor myopic and hypermetric me. I then copied and pasted the content in MS-Word to "un-bold" and "un-underline" the content. I was happy to be able to read it after quick customization. As I was reading through, all of a sudden, the NiCd in my laptop disagreed to run and before I could plug the box into the AC outlet, it switched off! I restarted the machine only to figure out that the Word content was not saved! Gritting teeth, I redid the copy paste and "un-bold" un-underline" thing and reread to recapitulate and continued from where I left. Phew! After all this, I came to know that the story is still "to be continued" ! I am biting my nails in rage and fuming through ears as I wasted 30 odd minutes for the whole agony and now add 3 more minutes to it to write this comment which I am not even sure the writer will read and understand what I went through.
