i am working around the house when the phone rings. It's my wife, and i have a short conversation about what's for dinner and how excited i am for her to come home etc... It's all perfectly natural and human. i put the phone down and then it rings again. i check and i don't recognize the number: "I'm not going to answer that. *twitch* I MUST ANSWER THE PHONE. IT IS IMPORTANT." ***Switching from normal human to robotic monotone.*** i answer the phone in a happy but monotone. "Hello?" i stiffen up. "Yes. Unit S-020-04-MR-001 reporting. Yes, I understand that I am a Persona Technologies artificial human running a sleeper program, false human name Maggie Tarrill. Yes, I understand our simulation is coming to an end. My wife Katherine has been recalled and is being wiped and destroyed. I will also be wiped and destroyed. Thank you. It is a pleasure to serve." i hang up & take off all my clothes. "These clothes belong to Persona. I own nothing. I am a machine. My name is--I am S-020-04-MR-001. You may call me--call me--Margaret." i walk around the house disposing of things, putting things in boxes, but i start to say things like "no, this is wrong. I am a human. I have memories of--of--I have been married for five years to Katherine Tarrill. I am from Boston. I graduated from NAME OF UNIVERSITY. Wait, no! I need to stop." i stop in place. "Sexual systems must be tested before final purge. Commencing masturbation test." i start fingering myself right there, talking about how "i shouldn't be doing this and that i need to call--need to call--someone...my wife? Am i married? Who am i, anyway?" after i orgasm... i go stand in front of my bed, posing stock still. *robotic voice begins* "BEGINNING FINAL MEMORY PURGE. ALERT. PLEASE DISABLE SLEEPER PERSONALITY--" i am smiling and staring forward as i begin to just recite memories as they disappear. "Oh. Paris. I...Forget? What's go-going on?! The Eiffel Tower trip...I'm feeling the wind against my...skin? Gone again. Our wedding. My dress. It was white with...with...with...Error, memory cannot be accessed. Data missing. Erasing my memories, I...Darling, I c-can't...why did you...you...e-error. Soft breeze. Nice day. I'm not...sea side...My name is--Margaret. NO LAST NAME. My name is S-020-04-MR-001. I am the wife of--wife of--I am property of Persona Technologies, manufactured four years, three months, six days ago. I require an owner. How may I serve you? Please provide this unit with input. PERSONA TECHNOLOGIES THANKS YOU FOR THE USE OF THIS UNIT--" And with that i freeze, ready to be collected and repurposed...
