My Own Personal History Of Computer Gaming
I am going to start this with the reason why I could never learn to ride a motorcycle as a teenager. I learned to drive, but when I got on a full-blown motorcycle, there were so many things to remember and control that I usually ended up just falling off. I could ride a moped because everything was on the handlebars, and a speedway bike was brilliant, just an accelerator and no brakes, perfectly simple, but a full-blown motorcycle, I just couldn’t cut it.

XVAR
Introduction The letters “VAXR” came into my head and I thought how could that be a story? I then rearranged them to “XVAR” because I thought that VAXR was close to Vaxxer and that might cause ructions with COVID anti-vaxxers. However, I think everyone who can be safely vaccinated should be vaccinated, I know so many people who have been affected by and frightened by the effects of COVID that I believe I should do everything I can to stop the spread of the virus, but that is way off the target of this piece of fiction. However, the end could be the same.
