“If we share, we can print in black and white.” This line made me laugh, but it also made me irrationally angry. Ink printers are so stupid! If I ever buy another printer, I’m just going to get a laser one even if it’s more expensive!
What I love about your writing Bill is that you always pack so much into every story, no matter how long or short it is. Found this one mildly amusing because you are quite right, it IS annoying when the printer won't work because it is missing one colour!
I would totally allow myself to be briefly flung into a time-space hiccup just to avoid installing a new cartridge.
Yes! And that's the other thing: Installing a cartridge is no fun at all.
Very imaginative! Loved it!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed The Quest for Magenta. One day we won't need printers, but until then...

This story came about because my printer and I aren't on speaking terms.
Imaginative and fun as always, Bill!
Thank you, Justin. Printer woes, sigh.

Thanks, Jilly. I enjoy creating a complete story in a small space. I'm glad you liked The Quest for Magenta.
I've done this ink chase. Now I always buy enough that I have spares.
I couldn't print last weekend because somebody, somewhere in the world, was low on cyan. ;-)
🤣🤣🤣
