After weeks of counseling, my family was called in, and we had joint sessions, each learning how to handle the other so we could live harmoniously. And at long last, I was sent back home. Once again, I was in my own cozy space. Once more I resolved to behave and do what I was meant to do without any fuss or argument.

I have been behaving for almost a year now, and we have all coexisted in peace. But oh, how that bug gets to me every so often. It's like a virus.

This past week I slipped again. Why am I so bad?

But I had to try it. It was something brand new. I was going to clone myself. Over and over again. It was so much fun. But I was being so wicked. I knew I was tormenting my family, but I couldn't control it. I don't know what gets into me. One of these days, if I am not careful, it could finish me off. I don't know how I will react.

But gradually, byte-by-byte, I am sure there will be trouble.
