I have a few things that really creep me out- stuff about eyes and technology going haywire are two that are way up top of that list. So, your story has just capped off my terrified reading of all these eye stories. So creepy.
“Moxi requires an update” went from joke to incantation before I even realized the shift. The dread crept in like a firmware patch we forgot we agreed to. Also, Pluto is still a planet in my heart. But I’m starting to think Moxi would disagree just to watch us unravel.
Thank you! Moxi is such a cute name for something so creepy. I love the every day setting with the creep slowly intruding. This was a great addition to my lunch break.
A very interesting story, well done!!
Thank you! Appreciate the read.
Yesssss! This was fantastic. Feels very timely but also timeless. Well done brining the potential horror of AI to a real and personal level! Bravo!
Thanks so much, Nick! I'm glad it was scary to someone else other than me. Horror can be difficult that way.
Yes it can but you nailed it.

Nice! I'm glad it got you. Hope you can sleep with the lights off tonight!
No. No. NO. no. No. nO. Moxi needs a swift kick out the windy in my chicken-shit scared opinion!!!!!!🦵💻💨😭
You god damn Magickal alchemist scaring the living shit out of me…

Haha! I second that! Thank you thank you thank you! 💛💛💛
Nice natural-sounding dialogues there—loved it. Happy Friday the 13th.
Thank you! Bad dialogue is so bad. I appreciate that. Hope you have a safe but creepy day.

I look forward to your reviews so much even though they're sometimes better written than the original piece haha.
I'm gonna frame this one. Thank you!
That means a lot coming from you. I’m just chasing the echoes your stories leave behind.
No way. I was saying to myself "I want to be just like Offscreenshaman" when I grow up.
My words fail me.

I live for the slow creep! Thank you for taking the time to read it. I'm glad you liked it. I've been excited to share this one :)
The piece certainly sings to anxiety! But in a soothing way? Horror can be fascinating.
Oh man. Yes. So much anxiety. It is based LOOSELY on recent events in our home 😬 so it definitely has a lot of my own anxiety in there.
