Poetry Via Email

We are in DC for Spring Break. And since Chad's favourite game Fallout 3 takes place in DC , I thought I would share an email I received from him one day. It pertains to culture in that it is a poem, albeit it is about a video game that he wasted hours (if not days) of his life away playing. And yes, Chad really is in charge of our youth. Enjoy!

I played Fallout 3,

for a while it was just the Wasteland and me.

hundreds of mutants slain,

thousands of bottlecaps claimed,

I was the scavenger and defender of the weak.

Far from the vault,

a fantasy I caught,

of destruction and anarchy for weeks.

But with the enclave finished,

and project purity completed,

Who will I be,

Without Fallout 3?
