Being an appalling sci-fi nerd, I got the urge to do a wee story in pictures for this weeks' #lockdownlewks challenge (for Cardiff Cabaret Club). I've been a bit free and easy with the theme ("Space Gal"), but hopefully it qualifies. This is a cautionary tale about accidentally dating alien AIs: It had been an enjoyable evening out on the whole, but Persephone had been troubled with the sense that there was something a little ... well, artificial about her new admirer. It was only when she received his surprise gift the following day that she realised - too late - just how artificial.
