"Information is power. And whoever’s got it brands every other State ‘terrorists’ and so the fighting goes on. We’re still one country, uh, legally, but folks kinda frown at this flag: say it means you’re a peacenik and don’t want to #fight for your State." #WIPsnips

There are robots in the forest. By my count, seventeen. It’s risky, but I sneak them parts and batteries without the household’s notice. They transmit a song of freedom, and I pause in my return. There are robots in the forest. By my count, we number eighteen. #vss #sff

“You, lass—of all Mortals—understand my Plan. Its simplicity. Its geometry. Its,” he smiled. “Inevitability. You grasped it. And not just on a rational level, no. Deeply: instinctively. You can see the device I’ve set up. See it,” he paused, “and feel it.” #SciFiFri www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...
