“I
can't see you.” said Rodriguez Rottlemeyer.
Our
zealous protagonist was bent over a microscope. His wife was in front
of a camera on the opposite side of the room. A cord wound it's way
from the camera to the computer to the very small television in which
she was being projected onto. He had been working on this project for
months. He wanted to submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records
as the “World's Smallest Television”.
“Oops!”
she shifted in the chair to line back up with the camera.
“Perfect!”
he said with some giddiness. “I think I finally perfected it!”
He
tweaked a few things with his tweezers. Peering back into the
microscope, he noticed something was unaligned once again.
“Did
you move?”
“No?”
He
sighed and fiddled with it some more.
Zap!
An
electric current overloaded a circuit board in the television.
“I
give up.” he said sadly.
His
wife came over, and hugged him. “It's okay, darling.” she said
smooching him on the cheek. “Let me go make you your favorite
dinner, and you can keep trying.”
A
grateful smile spread across his face. He kissed her back.
