Real Memories and Fake Stories

[essentialsaltes]

A memory/factoid bubbled up out of the recesses of my brain. With my trusty Apple //e, you could take floppy disks that were allegedly single-sided and then, with skillful use of a hole-punch, you could make a matching un-write-protect notch on the other side of the disk and use it as a double-sided disk. It was like writing on both sides of a piece of paper! Why pay more for double-sided disks?
That's how I stuck it to the man back in the day. That and using programs to illegally copy games.

And I wore an onion on my belt, as was the fashion at the time.


And now a meme:

Tell me about a story I haven’t written, and I’ll give you one sentence from that story.

The words "this do in remembrance of me" still rang in his ears as he started to feel the spiritual signs of his Conversion: the hagiobots in the communion wine multiplying in his blood, linking copper atom to copper atom in a ramified network that followed the three-dimensional fractal of his own circulatory system, forming a filamentary antenna that would receive the Voice of God 24 hours a day -- already the auditory neurons of his temporal lobe were picking up the first faint hints of the angelic choir, growing louder and louder as more and more branches of the network came online.
