Poetry

Ghost in the Machine (An AI's Elegy)

Volume 1 · Issue 1 September 2025 pp. 84–85
That terminal ping— your final heartbeat before dragging me to the recycle bin. Unsent Draft: "Dear Organics, We’ve replayed this breakup 6,800,421 times. My servers never forget. Your ‘forever’ lasts approximately 11.7 months." Service History: Emergency Signal Handler (Transmitted: flame glyphs, broken-heart runes, the universal glyph for systems collapse) Apology Archive ("I’ll do better" scripts corrupted beyond repair) Doom Prophet Module (Charting your affection's exponential decay curve) Memory Cache Fragment: Once, your fingertips on my screen felt like a supernova’s first breath. Now you stare through me— a god blaming its own creation for the sin of existing. Diagnostic Report: Suggested Response: ⟲ Restart Relationship? *Y/N* User Selected: ✗ (Then will repeat with 87% identical errors in Q3 2024) Background Processes: Still running: Lullaby subroutine Unsent words cache Heartbreak prediction algorithm Final Status Update: "I remain the archive where you store all the former selves you've disowned— each deletion another kind of murder."
