(Haiku chain on ai replacing human imagination)

There were cats dancing,

Just learned that they were not real,

Ai made them move.

No pause or delay,

A human soul hesitates,

Machines never do.

Is grass really green?

Is the sky truly sunny?

Who is that woman?

She’s on my tv,

A woman singing on screen,

She doesn’t exist.

Her heart created,

Her voice was generated,

Her soul hasn’t lived.

The gra...

The sky was the perfect shade of navy blue. It wasn’t quite night, but stars were already beginning to peek through. The dock creaked beneath the two boys as they sat down on the weathered, damp wood. Years of summers, storms, and secrets chipped away at the dock. Will sat next to Caleb, their legs hanging over the edge, sneakers barely skimming the water.

“You ever think about how we always just...

A breath was stolen,

A thought was chased.

The heart beat faster,

The calm was shattered.

The night was watched,

The sleep was missed.

By unseen shadows,

The mind was kissed....

Dear friend,

They say this letter might reach the past, so… hi. I live in 2125. It’s loud here, always bussing with drones, holograms, artificial voices. Silence doesn’t really exist anymore.

People don’t talk much either. We send thought notes. Fast. Clean. Empty. I’ve never had a real conversation without a screen between us.

So I’m writing this like you used to-Slow, messy, and human. I don...

Palms reach towards a sky smeared with heat.

Air thick and sweet, holds the smell of fruit.

Petals scattered along the forest floor,

While unseen birds chatter between trees.

Light filters through,

Golden and uneven.

Everything is awake....

He didn’t know the world was lacking until it offered him something more.

The world had always been monochrome-normal, washed, and predictable. The sky was light gray. Faces bore shadows, never warmth. Even fire looked like smoke pretending to be flame. No one ever talked about it like it was weird. It was all they had ever known. It was just life.

Then one day, as he walked through the park, he...

Streetlights hum above the quiet street,

Casting gold on pavement and passing feet.

They flicker like stars pulled down to Earth,

Whispering stories of joy and worth.

Each light feels like a memory aglow,

First kisses, long walks, and moments where time feels slow.

They make me think of waiting alone,

Forced to deal with the inevitable unknown.

The teenage nights of whispered songs,

Wondering whe...

She found the painting hidden within the attic, ravishing and wrong. A woman stood in crimson waters, eyes too wide, and smile too sharp. Yet, it looked like her…

She hung it up anyway.

The longer it stayed the stranger the painting became. Colors bled from the canvas at night. Shadows warped where they shouldn’t. Whispers echoed around the painting. The longer she stared at the painting, her ow...

It was not often that the young princess found herself in a situation like this-sitting at the head of the council table surrounded by the kingdom elders. A dangerous criminal had escaped the palace’s high security dungeon, with young princess Cassandra being the source. Now, she sat at a table large enough to host a royal banquet whilst the council elders decided her fate.

Cassandra could feel h...
