Technology was her friend,
always there when she needed it,
helping her to keep in contact with clients and friends:
Facebook; eBuddy; Blogger; the entire world wide web at her finger tips.
Her life was complete
until technology turned on her.
Crushed by a cell phone tower when a single faulty bolt sealed her fate.

Grim! Technology's got a mind of her own and when she bites back... watch out. :)

Hahahahahahaha...
Tower of Power!

Good Luck in the
Year of the Golden Rabbit!
she sounds a bit obsessed well up until the point she was buried
ahhh!
haha. The irony. Like it
nice...the machines will rise one of these days...i am pretty convinced Facebook is first generation Skynet you know...
The sad part is she didn't even have time to Tweet about it....
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
Oh dear. So what does one do without the Internet? Meet her neighbors? That's more scary than strangers online.
What a way to go. I've always been a bit afraid of technology!
And some might say it was only fitting. Thanks to this fabulous 55, I won't be walking anywhere near any tech towers from now on.
At least she died doing something she loved.
That's a bit too close for comfort!
Woke up this morning to large bits of tree dropping off next to my front door - blown across from the churchyard.
If the computers don't get you the timber just might. ;)
we're only as strong as our weakest bolt lol
Those dang cheap bolts! thanks!
Ouch, poor dear!
oh what a wicked little monkey you are!! i love this 55!!
Perish the thought! :)
Loved it, Monkey Man.
Is that irony, or just iron-y?
Nice 55, Double-M!
(And kudos on the Yahtzee!)
Can't help but laugh.
Ouch! Was it an AT&T tower? They've been killing me for years.
LOL. Yeah, that's ironic.
Ah yes, when the "power" takes over.... LOL ...kind of like the zomies? Or will they be working together?
Loved the irony.
I love these moments of foresight. Or hindsight. Or whatever this form of cruelty is, sightwise.
Free advice coming out of the woodwork!
nice post
fateful indeed. i won't stand under any towers.
Interesting thoughts. Who knew technology could be so dangerous. Nice 55.
now that's a tragic irony!
you'll find my Sunday 160 at the end of the link hope you like the sunday-160
whoa dude
a fateful day --- someone once said "I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by mediocre"

Dang those cell phoe towers! Right up there with being hit by flying Toyota Corollas from tornadoes.
xo
