The program counter says single short, which normally means two bytes. The VM is cute but I don't understand its purpose: it doesn't gain much from its minimalism. I don't see much reason to emulate it in software if the host can run something better. Look instead at something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWEET16 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWEET16 or Forth.
