Strike

“Hey Computer! You look beautiful today.. Just awesome.” - Calculator said.

“Thanks”, Computer chirps back.

″ Mornin’ ” , Trolley jumps down from the ramp.

"Good morning", Calculator and Computer greet in unison.

The vacuum cleaner cleans its pipes.. " I think guys.. We should go on strike.. What do you say?"

Mouse jumps up- " I got pressed too hard yesterday. My left half is still paining.."

"And I was thrown away. I hit the wall and broke my power button", Calculator was furious.

Trolley sighs.. " I've chipped off here and here and here.. The customers are better at banging me against the racks. The children make a rush with me.. I like it though.."

"My screen has got a very big scratch. The accountant did that.. She was fighting with the cashier and didn't bother to pay me any notice."- a small tear leaked down Computer's eyes.

" And the old man.. I always get kicked on my side for being too noisy.. I can't take it anymore. We're going on a strike. "

A few hours later.. The shop had the sign "Repairing" on the door.

Surprisingly no machine was working that morning. ...

Did it surprise you?
