I am a novice writer. I have a close friend, who also happens to be a relative, that is an accomplished writer. He has written prose and poetry, short stories and articles, and is very good. He is normally a very intelligent and rational individual. Until the last month or so. He has " upgraded" his computer. Nothing works as it once did. Some programs don't function, some function differently, some options have disappeared. Still others have suddenly appeared, and he is not sure of their function. In addition to the "upgrade", he has a new website he has constructed. A very good website, but it too has taken it's toll. In just a month or so, I have seen him transform into a ranting and raving lunatic. A true Jeckle and Hyde complex. He is, in general, a man in control of his emotions. While he does have his passions and beliefs, he is well mannered. Whatever demons reside in a computer, and I'm convinced they do, have taken hold of him. Only the broken shell of the man I once knew now exist.... "Release him, damn you, be gone and never come again!"... It may not work, but at least I tried.
