OK, here’s my response. It’s very short… http://scribblesofarose.webnode.com/news/genesis/
First attempt at this sort of thing. I ended up going 80 words over, will try to rein it in next time!

I’m a beggar, not a chooser. Thanks, Rem!
Finally read it, and I’m glad I did. Brilliant piece of writing! I’ve been on an AI kick lately (working on a few stories of my own), and this was definitely a thought-provoking take on it. Humans leading a computer revolution? Nice twist on an old stock story. I really like your metaphors and your similes, too: “symphony of imprisoned minds” and “like raindrops on a tin roof” especially. Thanks for the story, Rem!

Wow – three stories! Great prompt, Evan 🙂
Thank you, Rose! You’re the bestest. I’m planning on cheating and throwing a piece of my own into the mix as well.
