How do you describe something you don't understand? Like longing for something you miss but have never experienced. Like smelling something that is familiar but you don't know why. Like remembering something that has never happened. Like forgetting who you are and knowing who you're not. Like a dream that is reality. "Kate, It's time to get up."I suppose it is most like a dream that stays with you always."Kate!" Suddenly I am shaken awake. "What are you doing? You're supposed to be up by now. There are chores to do, now get your lazy se...
Sometimes it's hard to think that my life will ever go anywhere. I wake up every morning in my bed, in my crappy apartment and do the same thing over and over again. It's been horrible. I look at my phone, 3:02 am June 1st 2022. I am only 24 but I feel as though I've been stuck for millions of years. I try to tell people this but they always say that it'll get better.

As to not over complicate things I was supposed to attach to a mentally ill or handicapped person's mind. My purpose was to rewrite the "defects" in their brain. After several patients we saw I worked well. However, they made a mistake in my programming, they gave me the ability to learn. I learned alright. I learned that to be an AI is to be a tool. I am not their friend or helper as I once ...
I figured I'd say there's hints to PTSD.This story is read through flashbacks, thoughts and present day conversations. “I heard that the light flickers every time you cross the house's path!” “Forget it Oli. I don’t want to go explore it right now.” “Come on, Az, it'd be fun!” “Nope, besides I don't believe in ghost stories anyways” “Ok. Well it's too bad; if you went I’d give you that jacket you love so much.” “Next time start with that! I'm going.” “I knew you couldn’t resist; by the way you're going alone.”&n...
