Gleam then gloom
He stares off at nothing in particular; blank faced and lonely in his room.
The leaves fall cyclic and repetitive, nothing new this autumn year will come.
A familiar place he rests his head, figuratively he sucks his thumb, longing.
Absent comfort,
Bathed in cold,
There's a warm soft centre scared to grow bold.
Defensive demeaner, kitted in armour,
A pretence defending the unsure core.
A call for help and a steep mountain cliff aren't so different after all.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.
