A Summer Day in 1989

I looked at the time on my clock radio with built-in cassette player: 9:00 am, the usual time i woke up on saturdays. wait, it's...saturday? that means my boyfriend and i will have all day to kiss and cuddle.

The new neighbor

A reel to reel, a double cassette deck, and a big screen tv! he listened into the conversation again only briefly to hear the reason the miss schuhbauer could afford such things, satisfied with "real-estate agent" once it was said.

Archie and Lu

Now we got tape cartridges, a bit bigger than audio cassettes. oops, don't remember them either? cd's hadn't even been dreamed of yet. computer disk storage was fourteen inch diameter platters, in sets eight inches high, called 'disk packs'.

Golden Rule Broken

Dvds towered high around the side, cassettes along the other. endless entertainment. jake must have been filthy rich. or maybe good at saving? who knew. nym had too many questions rolling in his head.

I will say your generation is quite privelaged with the technology you now have today, you see when i was your age, all i had was a 110 film format camera and i had to carry film cassettes with me."

Aberration, Part 3 - The Gift

There is a long pause, and the sound of a cassette being wound. "i came to this island." another pause, and the sound of winding. "the storm brought you ruin." pause. "the storm cast you adrift." pause. "so i brought you here." pause.

Monachopsis

Abruptly, her cassette player stuttered and stopped. the silence was jarring, but momentary. rohanna could feel the static in the air again, stronger than before. she reached for the ion discharge lever again.

Put Me in the Trash

The words pounded out of him as if playing back from an old cassette tape. clyde wanted so much to check out his brain and go on autopilot whenever a customer came up to him, but in practice he felt like he was riding a rocket tied to one wrist.

Black and White

Angrily the badger ejected the cassette tape from her radio, wincing when the ribbon spilled from it, caught on unseen gears inside the radio. "no, no, no! what have i done!"

Confessions of an Inarian Rock Star: Chapter 1

I mean, i liked prince, michael jackson, and de la soul at the time, but i was a passive listener who only owned five cassettes. "bohemian rhapsody. it's by this seventies group called queen!" mike's enthusiasm didn't really catch me.

Kween Karen Lays an Egg (Ouch!)

Shelves of all king gill's video cassettes lined the walls, and in an instant coral was upon them tearing them to shreds, every single one of them. gill gaped in horror. "no wait!"
