Love this story. In thematic conversation with Robinson's novel "Gilead", Baldwin's short story "Sonny's Blues", Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken" and Andrychuk's flash fiction "Mandy Shupe" I think I am going to teach it this semester.

Composed at Bard’s IWT summer workshop on “Teaching Academic Writing in the Age of AI.” What started as a freewrite turned into my most ambitious piece in years—and somewhere along the way, a new genre emerged.
