Prompts = Frail, System, Break
Story New — It’s An Older System
Brianna, a leading consultant, strode down the marble halls of the headquarters of a leading bank, following the Chief Operations Officer; she needed to see the problem for herself.
As they descended the rickety wrought iron spiral staircase and the stagnant air became heavy with rodent smells, her fears rose.
But it was when she saw all the hamster wheels that her mind boggled.
‘You can’t trust computer systems. They break! They get hacked! So we use this. Problem is they’re getting old and frail. Got any ideas on upgrading the system?’
‘Buy younger ones?’
He considered it. ‘I concur.’
Story old — untitled

“Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I would like to summarize my closing remarks. We’ve been told that human health is fragile and the human body frail, that systems fail and parts break — that this is part of the human condition.
It is irresponsible, indeed absolutely criminal, to allow anyone, no matter their position in society, to prey upon human life. We are not prey and we should not submit to anyone or anything that considers itself a predator.
And so, I ask you, members of the jury, to find Death guilty of mass murder.”
