CRYPTOLOGY

  Thank you for reading (and experiencing) The Oxygen Age; snippets from a world that may or may not exist. It has been fun and enlightening to fill it with musings and rambles. I, however, really have been missing the sweet simplicity of the good, stupid, idealistic warm glow of a homemade video, of a small humble tv screen and the sound of old songs; so... See you in The Telephone and Television Age 

Correspondence. 01

 

Date: --???

To: Central Head Bureau 

From: Adult Resident 2 (Oxygen Age) 


Neighbour taught me how to use the two machines (Why have a fax and not a Computer? The typewriter is very rusty). 


All is well here, except for myself. I want to report that I may not live up to the responsibility of evacuating before the hurricane arrives, although I have told everyone about it already. Neighbour and the kids know who they are and where they come from, I do not even know where I am right now. I feel like I am lacking some sort of common knowledge that everyone seems to have long obtained and grew bored of, like I am in the middle of a stale inside joke. It may sound silly but I feel unsafe... The week is one long scratched tape and I lose touch with myself often. Please send someone else who can take care of it, and help me maybe? I have investigated the surroundings and the roads are blocked with snow, with not a single sign in sight. The terminal you have mentioned is impossible to get to. I have gone astray twice now and returned hypothermic and confused, and I am keeping track of my attempts and my day-to-day memory all alone. 

On my good days I will try to be helpful, but I can't promise anything. 

Awaiting response and instructions,

O.A_

Ps. are the unsigned letters from the bureau? I do not understand them.
