Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

Well, how about that shit? I guess I'm twenty-four. Not quite as mechanically young as I was anymore. This age ain't quite twenty-five; I guess it's got some bite.

Today's OneWord: Incomplete

The data that had been processed in the past two weeks was, in fact, incomplete, and Rose was growing frustrated by it. If everything had gone according to plan, the code would be finished, and the next step of her plan would be underway. But as it was, of course, she had to do everything herself.
