THE TEARS OF THE MOON
(Zenobi Software)

Spectrum 48K/128K+2


You had been so looking forward to this night, in fact you had been planning it for nigh
on three weeks now and you had fully intended it to a "night to remember" ... It was
going to be that, okay, but not quite in the way in which you had intended it to be ... So
when the first "twinges" of pain had racked your head you had reached for the aspirins
and quickly downed a couple. However, the pain had worsened and the tablets you had taken
since had done nothing to ease the matter, so it was with a heavy heart that you made the
phone-call cancelling your big night and condemned yourself to a quiet night in bed with
nothing more than a glass of hot milk and your trusty bed-socks.

Sleep was a long time in coming; the throbbing in your temple grew stronger and the warm
haze of slumber was not to be. You tossed and turned for an hour or two and as the nearby
church clock chimed twice, you realised that the pain in your head was not going to give
way that easily. However, you eventually drop off into a fitful sleep ... or at least you
think that is what happened.

"...... All that is no more. All that ever
could be has been lost in the corridors of
time. For something strange has happened ...
... something unbelievable! The world as we
know it has faded and you have tumbled
through a warp in the very fabric of time.
You do not know how you know this, but
you sense that millennia have passed and that
you now stand in the far distant future ...
... where everything has gone, everything has
changed. Now you can glimpse our future and
what lies ahead, and perhaps, just perhaps,
you can also find a way to return to your
own time ........"

"A spiral twists and turns in the air about
you and you stand alone in the vastness of
what mere mortals call ........ ETERNITY."
