ANTIQUE: A 100-WORD STORY

A few cycles ago, I was glimming the morning Speedtext, where I saw the most intriguing ad:

PORTABLE INFORMATION STORAGE SYSTEM

requires no batteries, stores images or alphanumeric characters with equal ease. Data retrieval uses principle of SELECTIVE REFLECTION™ in conjunction with electromagnetic radiation source (not included). Access any part of your database with simple manual operation! Available preprogrammed with large variety of software.

I had to have one! I scanned my credichip and waited for the transmuter to zoop it.

It was a “book.” I was mesmerized. What primitive beauty!

The “pen” and “ink” come tomorrow.
