Discarded and Forgotten

Submitted to Contest #255

There he is again. That troll does not stop hounding me online. I post my opinions on how I think artificial intelligence can positively impact the world.

Submitted to Contest #255

A strange man moved into the house next door, and life was never the same again. For whatever reason, I can’t explain, I, Mary Wittington, instantly despised my new neighbour – Conway Winston Perkins. There are no words in the English dictionary to describe how I felt about him. Even the mere mention of his name, Conway Winston Perkins, filled me with angry bitterness that was worse than the wrath of Achilles. When I first laid eyes on Conway Winston Perkins, there was a massive swing in my personality. I could tell instantly that he was a...
