“Step Away from the Computer and Stand Against the Wall”
I was never the type of person who used my computer for malicious and illegal things but a man with a badge was telling me to “Step away from the computer and stand against the wall.” What have I done that would warrant this? I remember downloading a couple albums recently, but that’s really it.
No time to think; the man was walking towards me and I hadn’t yet stepped away from my computer. Again, he said, “Step away from the computer and stand against the wall.” Entirely uncertain what I might have done wrong, my mind went foggy and I stood up. At that moment I noticed he wasn’t alone, but his badge-wielding buddies weren’t following him as he came directly towards me. Instead, they went off to different areas of the office and were saying the same canned line to my coworkers, all twenty-five of them.
