One day she’ll accept the trade-off, losing a piece of her humanity. She’ll look back and see the wisdom in it. But not today. Today she just wants back what she’s lost. (Oh this better, updated last sentence: Today she screams.)

As much as I like cybernetics and media with it, I don’t want it. I have a few irrational fears, this is one. The other is finding a toilet in a dream and using it.
Every other entry in this series has been at peace with or loved the trade-off. But I wouldn’t and when I saw the reference image I knew exactly what I was going to paint with it. Someone tortured with the choice.
I also love Fredrik Backman, Bear Town is one of my all time favorites. The way he gets me to feel emotions with his words is something else. So the blurb above is my attempt in his style.
Thoughts? Also is the rain convincing?
Johnny Mnemonic… I really should get that Movie in whatever capacity as physical media. Not just because I love Keanu Reeves, but it was such a classic Cyberpunk Scenario (Hello William Gibson) and that fricking Dolphin!
you will get there, I am sure of it! Its poignant as it is already!
Oh so good! And yes the dolphin was mind blowing the first time watching it.
And it just means I need to focus on rain at some point and do a series on it. Just like I struggled with hair, hands, skin, and everything else. Just gotta practice it out of me 😁
I like how your mind works, and love how it plays!
Thank you!
Always a pleasure.
