All I did was re-program my keyboard to Dvorak. Nothing to do with the composer of 'New World Symphony',
mind you; it’s a key layout designed by logic and research rather than by a sadistic,
contortionist, typewriter salesman who hated words with vowels.
I was writing in an Internet conference room, paying little attention to a cowboy-western on the TV,
when apparently averting my eyes to gunplay, I must have typed (I surmise) a sequence of letters never before
keyed in computer history.
Next thing I know I’m Max Headroomed into this desert Cyber-world existence,
circa 1880 Arizona - Cafe Tombstone!
Hardly the place - in any universe - for a
vegetarian, gun-control advocate!
Curiously (or not), many of the folks ‘round these parts remind me of people in the real world,
but I jes can’t quite recall (ya, I know, my speech has been affected, too).
And the events are a dizzying amalgam of past, present, and future - stripped, like news-clippings,
from the Internet’s vast but disjointed resources; which is all I have to relate my story.
So welcum, pardners, to Cafe Tombstone, where the present seems like the past, with a view
that's sideways - from a holster.
Wanna kill the gunslinger above? Jes carefully touch him. Don't dare click!
There's a ghostly building here. Can you find it? And, guess who's in the grave?
