Writing a horror game on the zx81

I was wondering if it would be possible to port one of my stories to the zx81 in text adventure format. The thing is, i need help making a parser, like in the Hobbit, but one that would fit in 8k or lower (hopefully it can be stored in 1 line of REM) to cut down on programming time. Since the 81 lacks Data statements, i need some other way. Anyway, this is the story i want to do in game form.
thanks in advance. I originally wanted to do a side scroller but that would require knowledge of either C or Java, of which i possess neither. Oh well
