Writings

Before?

Dear Jane,


I just met a nice group of friends, accidentally actually. I was on the sky train to my mothers villa. When they hopped in the train, they just created small talk. Like... "What brand of robots that I liked best?ā€ At first I thought nothing of it until they got off at the same plat as me. The girl with long blonde hair was doing most of the talking of the four. She asked me what I was ...

The Future Isn’t Good (But It Isn’t Bad)

Dear Klaus,


This letter comes to you 100 years in the future. Today, so many things have changed. We laugh at cars not flying. We’re suprised that chocolate bars used to be $3. That nobody had robots do everything for them. That we didn’t even have the technology to make dogs talk!


Everyone always speaks of the future like it is something to look forward to so much, but I feel different...

Dear Friend

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...

Socializing

Well, hi, my dear friend


Does it feel weird to you, writing like this? I learned this from ancient history class. The scientist wanted done us to write a message in hopes they can send it back in to the past. I do wonder what it was like back then. I know people say that things weren’t as advanced back then but….. writing this, in this way. It feels…I guess it feels more complete. I sometimes wis...

Dear Owen,

I read about this communication form back in History. And since nothing else is working…


Well, here goes.


I kind of like this. It feels a little bit more permanent than intermessaging. Like, I can delete messages but I can’t get the ink off of the page. If that makes any sense. And then there’s the sound of the pen scratching, and the smell of the paper, and it all just feels so… real, I guess....

Twain Sun

When the idea of friendship was inevitable at the age of four passing a ball to one another the real inevitability of sustaining the friendship was begging to be come true. Mark even at that age we were so prudent to not repel yet once and never we live to place doubt in our hearts that one day fruition will come to the ideas we sought....

100 years into the future

Address: 31 Century Street (No longer existent)

Date: 10th May 2125


To the keeper of the ship that carries my deepest secrets and perspectives,


This morning I woke up to robots greeting me, waves of mechanical scents blanketing the room and the sound of technology bombarding my eardrums. This wasn't a dream, nor was it science fiction. This is reality 100 years into the future. Yesterday, I was ...

I Miss You

I wish you could see the world we are living in today. All the scientific advancements we have. It’s as beautiful as it is scary. I feel like the end could come at any moment, but I also feel like nothing is ever going to happen to us. Artificial intelligence is on the rise and I do not know if it is a tool for the evolution of humankind or if it is the downfall of us all only time will tell....

How Much Are The Eggs?

Hay guurl, hay!

I know, it’s been a while. I am really sorry for taking so long to respond. It’s been kind of hectic over here.

I started the new job at KlÅā€™Äkē and hardly had any time to stop.

I heard that you are thinking about leaving Rooster and moving to the West Coast. Well, I have been telling you to kick his ass to the curb since that fiasco at the Co-op. He doesn’t deserve you! He is j...
