Such a good story! I love the imagery and overall vibe of this, and it was interesting to read the “story behind the story“ at the end.
Ahhh! It’s new story day!! Check out my #scifi flash “The Earth Will Not Consume Our Bones” at @naturefutures.bsky.social today!! 💙🤖💙
We were designed to help. We were built to endure. We did the chores, the routine tasks. We kept society going — until there was no society left to serve. Now we have no function. And yet … we were built to endure, and so we do.
