One of my external drives just turned on without being plugged into my computer. The computer tells it to get ready for data, it touches where it like to be tapped, and a light lights up accordingly, which is joined by a loud metallic hum. The light and sound just gave themselves life with no power, no touch, and now I am scared.

I sense that the drive is lonely. I don't use him that much now that I found a much bigger drive to give home to my amassing music collection. I hope he doesn't conversate with the other devices I have gathering dust in random spots I used to huddle at in the apartment.

If I am found with a usb cord wrapped around my neck know that it wasn't an accident, know that you will probably go soon. We should all go hug our electronic dives now- just in case.
