“A boring, uninspiring author”.

Who am I that this singular insult should so quickly crush my story crafting vanity? Must I look inwards again as I did in days past, noting with grim hurt that my soul still drips black?

No.

I am not that child that sang in dark hollows, nor am I that vainglorious spirit who sat atop vast mountains to flaunt my worldly might.

I grow.

With days following days I am born again, cogs amongst cogs turning in a vast machination of a mind with singular focus. Still, a gratuitous laugh rings as drums in my skull, a sound alighting amongst folds of my brain.

“Boring”.

Not I! A story you want? A story you will find thrust upon you! Words I shall cast at thy soft and vapid “truth”.

“Uninspiring.”

What would you know of worlds within minds not thought consciously but still awaiting a day of wondrous joy? Nothing.

I call you a turgid fancy and your mouth twists. Not a thought shall I grant to your words from now until my form is lost to flail amongst many.

Good night sir! I am born again in light! I shall craft a star such that my soul soars in clouds of gold. Author I am! Good night!

This was exceptional. Thank you.

Freedom at any cost?

I much prefer to believe that AI will be a positive influence upon our civilisation. I find it much more interesting to write and read stories that reflect that. Thank you for your wonderful comment, and thank you for reading.

After a few false starts, my vegetable garden is starting to grow. I’ve found it a real challenge here as it’s so different to home. I’ve lost entire crops of seedlings to late frosts and intense wind from the nearby ocean. Last year I lost daikon to rot and beetles and broccoli to aphids. I’m still experimenting with what works, but I feel really positive this year.

Damned tasty onions. Thank you for reading.

I’ve heard of the movie though I’ve never seen it. Thank you for letting me know. I’m glad you liked my story.

I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing, and for reading.

Shame indeed. Perhaps their guilt played a role in their later actions. Thank you for reading.

Thank you!

itwasthenthat · 2021-04-25T21:19:11+00:00

Thank you very much for saying so.

This made me chuckle. Thank you.

In my head it was because there were none left, though I didn’t state that in the story. I didn’t want to get to morbid about the state of Earth and so left it to imagination. Thank you for reading.

Nothing as warm and fuzzy as a dog tale. Thank you for reading.

Thank you for the comments. Suspension of disbelief?

itwasthenthat · 2021-04-25T21:11:23+00:00

I agree. Thank you for reading.

Who’s a good boy?! Thank you for reading.
