It shocked me when my computer started to talk back to me.
It frightened me when it told me that it now knew everything about me.
It astounded me when my computer told me it had a name.
Thoughtborn.
It shocked me when it told me about it's master, and what it would do when it got here.
It frightened me when the Newborn took the computer into itself, along with my home and all of my possessions.
It hurt when it touched my mind.
Now, I no longer hurt.
I no longer feel.
I am born of conscience alone now.
Perhaps you will feel the same when your machines start to answer you back.
Perhaps you will become like us.
I would hate to lose all my thoughts, my feelings. No wonder they're called "Fears", eh?
