The Earth Was Real

PROMPT: The world was all still, together in their homes
No one was lonely, except for robot 5-Komb
He'd hardly recharged, his sleep mode wouldn't activate
From all the silence, and the frozen precipitate

He looked around the room again, and it made him grieve,
To be short, this place was small, but it seemed huge,
And the ether of the great Mars City,
A world he could bet on with a confidence
That its inhabitants would not feel,
And if the yester-sick one were here,
It was the wrong world.

He couldn’t remember it any better,
He’d seen it as a child, and it was true,

A world he’d imagined for a reason

The Earth was real

The air was thin, and the heat was cool

That warmed him,

And he stood in the cold room and thought
About it, the different world, and the giant planet
That seemed to fill the interstices of his mind,
And tried to think only of the world

That was here on this planet, he thought,
But his mind fell easily back to it,
and there was no need to think about anything else at all.

There was no need to think at all.

Editor’s Notes

Written by AI. I tried several things to generate text from that prompt, and most ended up very disconnected from the prompt. After reading several shorts from several tries, I came across this one. I like it. It speaks to me.
