My OperaThe Corner

Travis sat patiently in the corner, eye balling an almost invisible thread under the couch. The thread was no ordinary thread, it had...arms...lots and lots of arms, but not like an octopus, no. These arms were spindly, appearing weightless and it was moving. Teasing Travis like a mouse would a cat. It was annoying and Travis wanted nothing better than to take care of the intruder under the couch. He waited. It would only take the action of one large multi-tasking android. Travis waited. The sun sank lower and lower in the sky and the android had not appeared yet the couch intruder was still there. Travis continues to wait. His form was alien. He though he was an elephant but that was not so. He definitely was not the picture box nor the annoying silver thing that swallowed bread and spit it out again. Yet like the picture box and the silver bread regurgitating thing on the counter, he had to have the assistance of the android. The android had not come. The couch intruder has not made a move to come out beneath the couch, but Travis was sure it would and when it did he would capture it. The sun set, the picture box came on and the clanking multi grain spewer was at last silent. It had been covered up for the night. Travis knew that the morning would come and he would have to clean the silver things broken bread bits from the floor and he was not pleased. It would take valuable time from trying to capture the intruder who seemed to be intent on stealing the couch. Travis would not let that happen. That couch was loved by all who sat upon it,the strange furry monsters that spoke in loud alien languages and chased other fur covered monsters that weren't so loud. Just for peace the couch had to stay, the only time all the fur bearing aliens got along was when they were all on the couch! No thing was going to take the couch and Travis was going to make sure of that. He would have to wait. Wait to catch the spindly armed bandit unawares and throw it into a prison that would never set it free again. Travis was going to wait. [/QUOTE]
