The Pixel, Part II

After several days, the pixel woke up.

Now, it's quite obvious, that, considering what the main character is, he'll have to get help from some external source. Considering he'd been placed in a second-hand computer shop, that wouldn't have been hard to come by, fast. On the other hand, who knew what the storekeeper would do. In all seriousness, the pixel had no idea why he knew it wouldn't be a good idea to let someone know he existed.

In a sudden spasm of memory, he recalled the other pixel. Somehow, he knew she had a fairly similar reaction to him. But, he being a he, that didn't make much difference on how he'd end up approaching her, if that ever became possible.

The pixel was forced to watch parades of heads walk by, on the large part, ignoring him. Then, near the afternoon, he somehow recognized that a geek was standing in front of him. The head couldn't seem to see him well enough, and was quickly elevated half a foot or so. The geek head went down and disappeared from view. The pixel somehow understood the thing heads sometimes do, rolling their eyes, and thought that. With that, he died again.

Surprisingly, he woke up mere seconds after that. The reader might ask how one could die and wake up twice in a row, but the author can assure the reader that such stuff is entirely impossible, unless you're a human. Thus, yes, this is fiction.

For some reason, the pixel felt cramped. He could also tell he had moved from somewhere fairly near the edge of the screen to somewhere very near the edge. The pixel hardly had time to wonder what reaction he should make, when the geek's head reappeared. This time, it was mounted somewhat strangely on a neck, supported by a pair of shoulders that...sagged. "Yes. that's the word," he thought.

The pixel barely had time to begin wondering what the meaning of life was when the geek head relocated roughly a foot closer to the pixel. The pixel finally realized its ability to smell, and passed out accordingly.

NOTICE: I have been horribly stalled (by myself) in writing any of Ketchup, comic or words, because I want to know which I should continue. I'm having trouble getting the comic working, and I know I can write. I'd like to know what you think, so, if you have any thoughts, comments, or just outright commands, feel free to comment.

Seriously, cliff-hangingly, and somethingelsely,
