"She's made of small parts, of metal, and plastic, of things none of them human, do you understand that?" I do, I know the argument, humans are being phased out, it all started long ago. And, now, it's difficult to work out the difference, to know who's "real", and what isn't. Our reality has … Continue reading Ex Machina

Jester #5words
Inspired by the Secret Keeper's weekly writing prompt #103 Still in the black, dawn not so far away, the last dream hoists its sail - and, I, forever the jester the fuse of your nights, the white noise of your world... Picture: Charles Baudelaire by Felix Nadar, 1855, via afrouiafroui.tumblr.com
