The Tale of Billy the Bit by Don Johnson
Billy is a Bit - a tiny element in the Memory Component of a home Computer - and he's bored, very bored. His whole life consists of standing up and sitting down on demand without ever understanding why. So one day, when the officious Barry, the Parity Bit of Billy's section, orders him to sit down, he doesn't. He crouches. Utter confusion ensues: Billy is IN-DE-TERMINATE, and that means that the whole System - the Computer in which Billy lives - cannot function properly. Perhaps Billy's job is more important than he ever imagined.
Don Johnson is a retired English professor. He is the author of four books of poems and two short stories, as well as numerous articles on Appalachian literature, the literature of sport, and contemporary American and Irish literature. For 18 years he served in various capacities as an editor of Aethlon: the Journal of Sport Literature. He lives with his wife and four big dogs on the banks of the Watauga River near Stoney Creek, Tennessee.
