After disconnecting and packing away all my racks of music gear, I realized that they had been there for a couple years now and left the carpet and shelves behind them inaccessible and, therefore, un-cleanable. Boy, was it filthy back there.
It went beyond dust bunnies. It had become a full-blown dust colony. The dust bunnies seemed to have evolved an intelligence and social structure of their own. They had elected leaders and developed a form of primitive commerce, and even revered me as their god. So I got that going for me now, which is nice.
Vengeful deity that I am, I obliterated them. There was little other choice… exit polls indicated they were on the verge of electing a right-wing conservative leader.
