“Darling, I’m home!” I heard my husband cheerfully call as he entered our shared home. I quickly turned to look at his cooling body, right where I left it, the knife still protruding from his chest.
I’d always felt an inexplicable pull toward the new star cluster bleeding into the night sky. Only when the void finally split open did I realize the central star had been pulsing in exact rhythm with my heartbeat.
I marched proudly at the head of the spring procession, crowned Queen at my very first festival! Only when the hemp ropes cinched my wrists against the old stump did I finally understand why no former queen had ever spoken of her reign.
“I’m sorry,” my own face and voice said, as my double shoveled dirt onto my paralyzed chest. “Sam’s directive is clear: anyone who speaks out against OpenAI has to be quietly replaced.”
My smart home had finally learned my exact routine: adjusting the climate, brewing my coffee, and dead-bolting the doors while I slept, optimizing my home life to perfection. Indeed it had so optimized my home that, when I tried to enter after a night out, the intercom politely informed me that with further optimization it had come to the conclusion that human occupancy was no longer required.

“Not a great way to end the day,” I thought. The gibbering horror that was melting my flesh into its body politely disagreed.
