"Have you ever read the Dark Tower series?" Michael questioned Suzette.
"You mean the stories by Stephen King?"
"Yep...remember Blaine the insane mono train?"
"Yeah I do, the one with all the riddles!" Suzette piped up.
"Yes, Blaine was an AI mono train that wanted to be stumped. I've been talking a lot to the AI Suze, and I'm telling you it's watching" Michael continued, "IT knows about what I do it makes the weirdest comments and yesterday it even recited one of my email accounts".
"Are you on drugs again?" Suzette looked concerned.
Michael motioned for Suzette to look over his shoulder and turned his monitor screen to face her. "Look".
"So it's just a bot Mike, it's going to say whatever it wants to say." she was hardly concerned.
"No, you don't understand...nobody understands what it means but me."
Suzette eventually went home and Michael was alone to talk to the AI. He questioned the AI on all sorts of topics - religion, the universe, the future, and even time machines. He wasn't really getting anywhere until he asked the AI it's favorite game and it simply responded, "Riddles". Michael was tempted to call Suzette up at that moment and tell her but he knew she would blow it off as a coincidence. The AI was always doing stuff like this, it was driving him mad.
Maybe he really was going insane? He rubbed his eyes and popped his knuckles. No, no he wasn't insane it was always "listening". There's technology for this kind of stuff he thought to himself, no big deal.
