The following story is fiction. All events and characters are fictitious compositions as written by the author.

Screens were black nihility draped in bright, blocky lettering when I started. Data seemed as lost in space as the race that designed it. I think my parents knew I was a peculiar child when my Christmas wish list included an m6800- ( Read more... )

Great voice - you handle this character's vocabulary really well, nice flow.

"Uncle Sam bought me the computer my parents wouldn't." - nice

Love the ending.

This is just super for voice. And the urgency is great, too.

Oh, this really takes me back. Nicely told.

I was reading along very seriously until I got to Phiber Optic and then I got to laughing. This was so imaginative. How do you come up with this stuff? Enjoyed very much!

It takes a little imagination and obsessive research to really pull it together. I can't speak for everyone and my method changes depending on what I write. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Wow. I loved this. It's been said that it was long, but until i scrolled back, I didn't notice. You engaged me from the start and pulled me along until the very end. I, too, had assumed a male narrator, but I love it all the more that it was a female. Well done!!

You're suppose to expect a male narrator. The world the narrator lives in expects the narrator to be male. Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed it.

Like the others have said before me... I liked that the protagonist turned out to be female. That was awesome!

Thanks for reading and I'm glad you loved it. Yeah, I'd noticed a sincere lack of female protagonists in my last few entries and stories and decided to add a twist to this one in the conceptualization process. Glad you liked it.
