You consider everything might be some kind of prank. At least you hope it’s a prank. There isn’t any reason for you to go to the publishing house at 1 am.

After giving an obscene gesture at the computer interface in front of you, you say, “This has to be some kind of prank. There isn’t any way some computer entity has my entire manuscript of Star Knights.”

“Interesting….in all my understanding of you and the trivial concerns of humans, I did not anticipate this kind of reaction from you….” the computer image replies. “There was a 2% chance you reacting this way.”

“I guess I’m one of a kind,” again, you give an obscene gesture to the computer image.

As you reach down to turn off your computer you say, “I have to fire my agent now because now he’s taking his jokes way too far.”

Before you press the power button you hear the computer image say, “would you like to play a game?”

As your index finger hovers over the power button….your curiosity ends up getting the better of you.

“What kind of game?”

“I call it Authors versus Machines“

“Really!?” you say, “I thought machines would at least try to keep their animosity a secret…”
