the Oil Spill

one of my family members found this epic narrative my brother must have written in prep. note the use of apple IIe for the graphics and text, and the grim subject matter.

i never got it back unfortunately.

hells bells alleycat

on the friday after three days of 43 degrees heat in melbourne, there was an alleycat.
