Retsy Series 1 · Card 0496 · 90-MEM
The only pet that never needs feeding.
Staring for ages at a computer screensaver of cartoon fish when you were supposed to be typing a book report.
The story · 1995
The family computer got a new screensaver and suddenly nobody wanted to do homework. Tropical fish drifted by, bubbles floated up, and a little treasure chest opened every few minutes. Kids gave the fish names and swore one shark appeared only at midnight. Moving the mouse felt like a crime.
Some kids left the computer untouched for an hour waiting for the rare golden fish, which may not have existed.
