I admit that’s not where I thought you were going with the ending. Loved the twist… I never saw it coming!

A personally relatable drop I coat over these stories often twist visualization before unwinding to rescreen a scene. Cages become self-facets locked for a better day, as Spring rattles my bars. Back into story, I return, to redraw the faces of actual character.

Not a hook in my own past, I would Cyber Solaris a window of future. Or, go beyond for better detail of a life not my own. Particularly, I’d visit an adored gifted relative before my time to understand his own Cyber Solaris, the responsibility and to weigh knowledge. Also, I’d ask why my Cyber Solaris is like the Atari Pong with a missing controller when his was more of the latest PlayStation. The things we inherit.

Dearly enjoying the books, as more addictive than morning coffee. Monday cheers. 🌸
