To Many Windows (Complete)
As Waldo typed away on his computer he heard a faint buzzing noise. Not really caring what it was, he kept opening windows on his computer. Waldo had opened so many windows that he had 100 of them open. When he woke up the next morning he was shocked to see his computer on. He looked and noticed that someone had looked up sausage. Now Waldo was a vegetarian and hated meat. He only likes tofu from the Tippity Tappity Tofu store down the road. So Waldo wondered if he went sleepwalking that night. Again Waldo was shocked to see his computer on when he got home from work. He decided then and there to protect his faithful companion. He went to the computer store and bought a ton of spyware software. He also bought webcams and internal hard drive systems with attached zap rays. When Waldo got home he was not the least bit shocked nor surprised when he saw his computer on. He downloaded all the software and inserted the USB extensions to plug in the multiple webcams. He set up the internal hard drive systems with attached zap rays. He even set up a remote desktop connection alert system. Now you and I have no idea what any of this stuff Waldo bought is or does. But Waldo went to bed that night feeing safe. Later, that night Waldo fell out of his bed when he heard multiple computer alerts go off. He zoomed over to his computer to see… ugh it’s too terrible to say. Someone had ordered a box of sausage to come to his house. Waldo called the sausage company and asked to cancel the order. The woman on the other line said that they could only cancel orders that come from Yugoslavia. It was midnight when Waldo went to the Jr. Detective store. It was open 24/7. Waldo purchased the Baby Baskerville detective kit and the Super Sr. Sherlock kit. He headed home arms full and dusted his keyboard for fingerprints. Nothing. He walked over to his baby grand and played a song from the tofu store. Slowly he went to sleep. A few days later. Waldo woke up feeling sick. He went to the door and found a package full of sausage.
