charisstomaFB3X Drabble Cascade #49 - Weave
Title: Code Name Brock (G)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100
Prompt: weave
Do not tell me Tell if I used these terms incorrectly. I’m still at the bright eyed neophyte stage educationally.
Name courtesy of a book's author we were trying to find today. Cole was the last name, Brock the first. Which seems backwards but names make their own rules ... often.
Slowly Brock wove his way through the tangle seeking some moiety of pattern that would reveal how to unravel the problem. It wasn’t easy being the fixer in the complicated world that he worked, many nooks and crannies to scan.
‘Ah, there was the snarl that has everything in a continuous loop. The way in shouldn’t be too difficult. Aaaand,’ with some satisfaction, ‘there’s the entry in.’ What’s good for the hacker works for the security tech was the cliché.
Brock pulled out his bit of anti-virus and prepared to input and never saw the malware code that corrupted him.

Is this his own body he was trying to fix, in some transhuman future? I want more to fill in these blanks, so I'm sending the bunnies after you. :D

Date: 2014-02-23 11:33 am (UTC)the imagery had me thinking of Brock ducking and diving through tangles of branches made of glistening, organic-looking code (yeah I've seen Tron once too often), like a D&D thief searching for the evil entity in an ultra-modern forest. And then, up sneaks the malware, taking him from behind as he points his defences in the wrong direction.
Poor Brock - what will happen to him now?

Oh Brock is corrupted and I'm sure that the malware will use him quite well and to best advantage spreading their progeny through the internet.
