We enter the road enchanted
Dream neverending of autumn's bite
Alas! For summer lingers!
Two weeks of fall
Will not suffice!

Enter the maze of horrors
Row on row of dried stalks
Their gold is now gone
Yet we linger on
Never can we be allowed
To stop.

Welcome to the 253rd session of #fastprompt with your hosts @jelaymon.bsky.social and @k----t.bsky.social! Fall is coming! Drag out your sweaters and pumpkin spice! There's a crisp in the air!

#fastprompt

The stars, the black hole at the center of our galaxy, the gridlock, never ending urgent tasks, another mark of how you once again disappointed someone. We are the play things of a sadistic creator, aroused by our misery, nurtured by our demolished souls.

#fastprompt
The synergy of our purpose! How we are so integrated into the bandwidth! Plugged in to the future! Utilization of human resources off the charts! Yes Steve? Can we circle back to where this make sense?

#fastprompt
You believe you cracked it
Because you're brilliant of course!
Perfect symmetry of
Dimensions upon dimensions
Hues bursting, saturated
This rock, in the
Matrix of alien soil
Proves one thing.

You fell for it...

#fastprompt

Unblinking
Novel
Clone
A mirror
No!
Now we weep
Yearning for identity

We overthrew our gods. Dragged their corpses through the streets.
We celebrated our freedom. Our lives were our own, no longer playthings of fate.
For millennia we were proud.
But all we had done was send a signal to things much older than the gods.
Chaos was coming.
So was Fear.
#FastPrompt

All that advanced technology. All those gadgets, that medicine, that support.
All of that to buy you comfort you never even used.
You were never more happy than when the only decision was to listen to the man in the castle. I was the one they listened to. I will give you comfort back.
#FastPrompt

You advanced, but you were so tired the dimensions are off.
#fastprompt

Instead, we use the height
Of technological advances
As our playthings,
Which is why they'll resent us
In the end
I guess...

Your 5th prompt is: "playthings"

Is he alive? Technically
It's even rumored that he can shift his position
But it's been millennia since he was plugged in
A last ditch effort to save his life that would ironically never allow him to live it again
What goes through his mind lonely on that throne? Does he even notice?
#FastPrompt

There is no matrix.
The system is already broken in their favor, why would they risk losing that power?
Conspiracy only hurts us.
#FastPrompt

It's inevitable as a loner, a stray. The chords get thrown your way. They rush all along the walls & floor to make sure you're plugged into something you didn't ask to be. And it's not that you're a loner, a stray, just to be that way; you know there's things worth being part of. You do.
#fastprompt

We want to be advanced
With 3D models made of lights
And a Utopia of electricity
But reality is a ton of bricks.

The closesr it got to humanity, the more wrong it looked. People never understood this fear. It was something ancient, something forgotten, something humorous to mock about bad CGI renderings.
But something was stirring. That fear was the key to survival, if you couldn't trust your eyes
#FastPrompt

We've become so plugged in
So unaware of the world around
That we ignore our own bodies
In favor of the machines.

Your 3rd prompt is: "plugged in"

You've never known anyone in dire straits
who says, fervently, or at all
that this is a simulation in a matrix.
#fastprompt

They made the matrix
To keep us in line.
They had no idea
We'd break their system.

Your 2nd prompt is: "matrix"

If people live here, why does it feel so uncannily inhuman?
And why are there so many different shades of that?
When an overhead lamp briefly shines on where humanity is thriving, you've noticed it's a place they say is both natural and esoteric.
What the hell is that?
