“Sam, the Artificial Intelligence Therapist” by Angela Van De Pol

Submitted to Contest #82

Noel had been depressed almost all his life. He had accepted it as it was. He would never be happy; that’s just how he was programmed. He did apply for therapy, but with the current society, depression, loneliness, anxiety, insomnia, addiction, borderline, bipolar disorders, and hyperactive disorders were so common that the waiting list would take over a year. Especially if you’re not suicidal, you’re not a “crisis” case, so there was no way of getting help sooner. One more year of being depressed, that’s doable. However, will the therapy wo...

Submitted to Contest #51

"Okay, so what do we need? Did you bring our grocery list?" I asked Tracy, my best friend. She walked into the grocery store before me, skipped like a little girl and got ourselves a shopping cart. Her blonde hair waved in the air and she truly looked as if she was sixteen years old. Smiling all cute with the shopping cart and the note in her hand."What do you think?" she asked. I never forget these kind of things. Even if you write them and leave them behind in your apartment! I am the master of shopping lists. You know that," she said smil...

“The Stars don't say anything” by Angela Van De Pol

Submitted to Contest #51

I looked upon the sky in this strange village. I've never seen stars so bright; so shimmering. It felt almost as if they were wasted among people like us. The addicted; the junkies. The most despised people of the world; the weak and the pitiful. That's how I felt sitting there; outside of the beautiful farm in the north of the Netherlands. The village was called Ravenswoud.
