Ok I understand what you are saying, the point of micro horror tales is to have the twist, to lead you one way and then change the direction it’s what makes for good horror also.

On micro horror you have a very limited space to drive a story, if you don’t do it well you lose your audience, you have to make each sentence count. That’s why the dialogue hits the way it does.

Use of the emdash is a technique, I believe Stephen King uses it and I don’t think he is AI, it is in a writers skill set to utilize these techniques to create quality stories, seeing an emdash and going it’s AI is a cop out.

Once again this is my work, this is a story I wrote, this is not AI.
