It could well be the Colombian; But, I'm going to have to disagree. Whilst there were a few areas where I cringed a bit, I thought that the piece showed quite a bit of potential.

Suicide is an option you should now seriously consider.

You mean the bomb that wrote the story? I thought it was pretty good writing...for a bomb.

Damn - This posting seems to have triggered more emotions than the Israel/Palestine thread. Excellent work, Orangina!

I have a very close relative who nearly was killed in an IRA bomb in 1975. I always find these little exercises in imagination very telling.

In reflection I regretted the Bear Stearns comment, it seemed a little bit over the top. I do like O+ after all, his posts are generally interesting or amusing.
However I was quite pleased with the "penile leprosy virus"; I felt that that particular line had a certain originality and bite that really carried the entire message.

I wrote the story that orangeplus linked in the OP. Wanted to drop in and say thanks for the link and the pageviews. My first impression of this site is that it's a place where everyone can get together and slag each other off.
I'm all for that.

I'm slagging off as we speak.
If you can lay your hands on a photo of a hot HS chick in a cat halloween costume, you might slag more often, yourself.
It just occurred to me that I might not know how you mean slag. Now that I think about it, doesn't it mean "slut"?
In that case, I'd still consider what I'm doing slagging.

I didn't realize we pulled that sort of (still fairly pathetic) traffic. I know I wasn't one of those pageviews, because I'd already seen it posted elsewhere...

Karen, couldn't find the definition or even if your adjective existed, but maybe you were referring to this in which case all is forgiven and I'm using it myself-

Toe,
You're on it. It means "infested with intestinal worms." YUM YUM!
And there's a related term:
helminthophobia - ( )
The fear of becoming infested with worms

TTWT, I particularly liked:
If I had hands I would’ve grabbed them and dragged them back. If I could talk I’d have yelled “HOAX!” and everyone would’ve stopped for a second to think about it. Anything at all to keep them close just a little bit longer.
Inspired.

thethingswethink, welcome,
have you read John Varley's "Bagatelle"?
It's also a short story with a bomb protagonist.
Unless I got the title wrong... all I recall is it's a cybernetic nuclear bomb... human brain hooked up to a nuke and planted in a shopping mall. Those details could be all wrong since I haven't read it in nearly 25 years.
