Our character, Grey, whose pronoun preference is ‘they’, is content with life. They are happy and peaceful, until they encounter IT. They don’t know where IT came from or why IT is there, but they are determined to ‘kill’ it. They find IT and ‘kill’ it, or so they think. But we all know that bugs are hard to kill, and to their disappointment, one becomes three. They are sad and run away. Our story is based on the joke:
“99 bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, take one down, patch it around; 117 bugs in the code”
