I've already accepted this a long time ago 😂 but also another reason why I want to get offline. But let's be real, you may get some of my sayings or my picadillos and it'll never be the real me, I'm one of a kind

Wow, second person. So tricky to get that working. You pulled it off alright though. Nice one.

The Future Is Now!

This digital twin stuff is crazy, but forreal yesterday, I was perusing some of my archived reels on instagram & meta has removed all the original audio … and won’t return it. Like they’ve copyrighted it and they’re saving it up, to steal my genius & replicate it onto their sinister machine. Sus sus sussss.

Gripping story, Michael.

Confronting, depressing, and scary in how plausible it is.

I really enjoy your short and concise sentences — it set a great tone for the piece.

Loved this line too — “ Inside your car, your phone registers the time of death before your soul is even done leaving your body. ”

— horrifying! :)

Thanks, Deb. Maybe it’s a little harsh, but I wanted to provoke a bit.

I have a deep desire to get harsh, but I resist. I think I have, in my own way - but this is real life and harsh is often the release one needs.

You are being true to your writing in Sci-Fi and I admire you. ox

Thanks, Deb. That means a lot to me.

That was dark! And brilliantly done!

The 2nd person POV worked a charm.

Loved it.

Thanks, Evelyn! The 2nd person POV kinda wrote itself here, lol.

I'm working (barely started tbh) on something that is tangential and more extreme. What if nobody cared enough to bother with the twin, even if they could make one easily and cheaply? When my mind goes to the dark side, it gets REALLY dark. I'm trying to spin it into a "Space Cowboy" type theme to lighten it up some. 🙂

Can’t wait to read :)
