This is so transactional. It feels somewhat dystopian.

It is a bit.

It's only a kiss 😉

In a world where this sort of kiss becomes normal, what must they think of…. Well…

That blinked green part is so tiny and mean..! Somehow I've fallen in love with it!

It is very small Asuka! So pleased it jumped off the page and into your heart for a little flutter 💛

So short and yet so charged. I feel restricted just reading it.

Thank you Jessie and for sharing!

Hopefully not so restricted you didn’t enjoy it? 😊

Jessie Laverton's avatar

Oh no it’s brilliant. Transactional is the right word, used in the comment above.

Mark Crutchfield's avatar

Thank you and yes - that is a perfect word.

Again that loose-limbed rhyme and rhythm that catches me unawares. Wonderful.

Mark Crutchfield's avatar

Hehe. Do I have permission to write some more dearest Moll?

Moll Moonlight's avatar

Like you need my permission!

But also, I do kind of like cosplaying a tyrannical queen, so - very well, my good man, have at it 😉😘

Your short pieces are so loaded. I don't think it's actually about robots or AI.

Mark Crutchfield's avatar

Hehe.

It wasn't at first — not at all.

But somehow drifted in that direction.

No idea how though!
