nothing.

#ash

There was an old chatroom on the internet. It was called #ash. 'ash' stands for alt.suicide.holiday. alt.suicide.holiday was the name of a certain 'newsgroup', from an even older section of the internet.

The point was supposedly to talk about why suicides spike during holidays. A lot of depressed people would go there. People who didn't like the #suicide channel.

There was a woman on #ash. Her name on the screen was rorie. She was involved with a married man. Then, one day, she killed herself. Or so I was told.

There weren't any stories in the paper.

One day

One day, when we have made robots, and they have made their own robots, they will come to us and ask us about this thing called poetry.
