"Teleportation of food and water remains at a standstill as technicians in Kobe continue to fix the extensive damage to the eight-million-yottabyte mainframe computer, a four-by-three-inch quantum femtoprocessor responsible for accessing and fulfilling the thoughts and desires of all Japanese.
The United States' offer of $20 million and a shipment of steel, tractors, forklifts, and cranes was politely declined."

Date: 2007-09-23 02:09 am (UTC)what i've been doing, btw, (and not announcing, but since you actually are reading it, i figured i'd let you know) is doing a page by page answer of Donald Barthelme's "Snow White". Except I'm using (very loosely) Rapunzel for the jumping off point.
like, i write better with limitations, so i'm trying to write only in the specific word counts that book is written in. it wasn't really written in chapters, but at the same time it's really chunked and only vaguely linear.
