scratched a sudden meta-storytelling itch with a lawnmower. The result was predictable.

My entry was Remembrance! I really didn't expect any votes so I'm super greatful that @HerziQuerzi felt it was good enough to vote for.

To answer some reviews: Yes, it's loosely based off of Observance and the AI from the book series The Illuminae Files. While I have not played Observance (I'm broke and don't have a computer) I have watched some playthroughs and felt inspired by it.

I agree that the song is a bit weak, I just didn't really know what else to do to close the story and I figured bringing it back to the song that was cut off in the beginning would be a good send-off.

Thanks for all the reviews, guys! I'll for sure use your suggestions in future entries!

I wrote the Pearl. Thanks for the votes, I feel humbled.

I really enjoyed the idea. I was on vacation in Vancouver, smoking a joint and reading the Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer (of, most notably, Annihilation fame) when I came across the line: "Some people transmit. Some people, you meet them, and they bring you their whole past as a natural gift. Some people are intimacy itself." (Actually a line from John le Carre's Smiley's People.

In the end, I immediately took to the laptop, joint in hand, and smashed this out in about 30 minutes, which is a shock, because I take months to write 100-word roleplay posts. It was unedited, unrefined, but the first short story I've ever written, and a proof of concept that I'm fairly proud of. On the other hand, I'm not proud of the final product, mostly because I never had it in my mind that it was final! Credits to Diana for convincing me to not un-submit, however. Good call, and I regret nothing.
 
oh shit you participated?
brave man. Bravo. You did something. Amazing. Congratulations. It's great.

I'm particularly pleased to read that when it's juxtaposed with the text in your signature: "Time to die."

did you know an ion thruster only produces about half a newton of force, which is roughly equivalent to how much force it takes to hold a handful of quarters
