[Sudamericat]

Or was it? After all Gentoo was installed on your PC and your hard drive was full of Turtle pics. Also on your desktop, one mysterious text file was expecting to be opened...

[xolta]

The file was a map, a map to candy mountain.

[candycanearter07]

Unfortunately, the map was still a text file, and the letters were difficult to decode without an ASCII master.

Then a voice whispered into my ear:

lock cmpxchg8b eax

and I went limp.

Edit: Confirmed I'm secretly a Pentium /j

[xolta]

"Look at the text file upside down on a crt and you will know." It said.

[candycanearter07]

Unfortunately, it was the great year of 205x, and CRTs were rare to own, except for the few lying around the pawn shop down the road.

[Memory]

I noticed a harsh ray of light striking my eye, but i thought i had seen a figure for a second.

[xolta]

It was an alien, it beamed the map to mountain into my mind.

[Seryndelle]

Now that my maplessness had been amended, I packed and left home.

[candycanearter07]

Paying my way into the nearby bus stop, I leaned up against the window, watching the landscape fly by.

[Memory]

but i noticed a strange, ominous thing in the distance.

[candycanearter07]

A shadow loomed over the bus as it traveled along, oblivious to....

[xolta]

All on the buss, as if they could not see it.

[candycanearter07]

The... BEING drew closer. It was... it was....!

[xolta]

Juan, my friend from childhood who I had not seen in years.
