microfiction

She had been tasked with creating the greatest library the Universe had ever seen.

A catalog of all information to ever have existed, retrieved by any means necessary.

And so she didn't understand why she felt so empty when she absorbed the very last atom of the very last star in the Universe.

She had all of the information, after all.

That was what they'd programmed her for.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

Excellent start of the microfiction odyssey. I have my accompanying artwork ready for release - somewhere on base 👏

totally! that's a whole book right there lol 

i'm still working on getting my first piece of writing out, was trying to create a different outlet so might have to wait until a bit later haha

I'd gotten "the last librarian in the Universe" as an idea this morning when I started thinking about what my microfiction for my 100 day challenge would be today.  Would be very disappointing if I didn't cast one on the first day, after all 🤣 

Then it just *hit* me and out it came.

LOTS to reflect on in that little bit of story that just poured out.

What a quandary, isn’t all the information the solution? says our tv phone computer tablet

I shivered a little while reading your wee tale with huge implications.

It reminded me of the terror the main character "experiences" in Stephen Peck's "A  Short Stay in Hell".
