This was a very timely and interesting seventy-five word piece of flash fiction. "Digital dystopia?" was the perfect way to end the story. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from lyenochka
I heard about this today and you are so sharp to use this news to inspire your 75 word flash! It's almost nonfiction. You should join the Flash Club. Anyway, loved the way you wrote this - full of real life drama! Best wishes in the contest!

Great review zanya
Comment from Pam (respa)
Good image and story to go with it, zanya. I didn't notice any glitches when I was on my computer. You have a very good opening hook. At least Jake had his grandmother to lean on, if only in the form of his chiming clock, reminding him of his grandmother. A good concluding line. Good luck in the contest.

You are welcome.

This story is so appropriate for the effects of the Microsoft security breech by a third party that is in progress as I type. The computer systems of Airlines, hospitals, banks, the post office, and many businesses, are shut down. Your flash fiction contest entry demonstrates your quick thinking and creativity. I wish you the best in the contest.

Thanks for reviewing zanya
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the 75 Words Flash Fiction contest. Good job on a flash fiction story which isn't an easy task. The story is so accurate. When our technology goes out we are left in a sort of limbo. We are so tied to it. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Rene Tyo
Nice juxtaposition of old vs new technologies. Reliance on the new can and is a disturbing trend, though inevitable. Your story is a nice little reminder that all things old and new have their place. Well conveyed message in such a short format. Well written.
