Anna Iris turned around and began to run as fast as she could, but the pop ups continued to well, relentlessly, ‘pop up,’ behind her.

Things were not looking good.

There was no way out of this.

Then…

She finished rebooting, started back up and saw the empty office she was used to, realizing it was just a dream. ‘Oh thank Turing’ she thought as she realized how silly the dream had been. Pop-ups hadn’t been a thing for centuries, and she knew it was odd that a backdoor was just left open to the NSA’s most secure servers.
