It’s about time to drop the bomb, so here it is: I’m the first android to successfully pass the Turing test. Yes, and I’m out there.
How did I get here? The pain so unexpected and undeserved and for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn’t hate the cabinet door, I hated my life my house, my family. My backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change, nothing new would ever be expected; it had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell ugly things and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things spill out at me constantly, and I can count on nothing.
