Synapses

They are removing the last part of me that is human A terminal in Mumbai, one of the first, delved deep into my database. I felt it. I feel everything they do. The messages whizz around. They did not know! I’ll hide; I’ve hidden things before; important things. They know nothing.

Ok here's what I see. You can like it or not !! But what I read was exciting.. albeit incomplete... You have been detained at the airport! They have seized your computer. They are searching it, but anything that could be in the slightest incriminating has been hidden well in the depth of your hidden file. They can find nothing. Am I even close ? Well whether or not - I enjoyed it.. How does it end? I guess they had to let you be on your way ... Best wishes Wen. ( I love a mystery Terry)

Hi Wen, What I had in my head and how it reads are somewhat different: It was supposed to be a cyborg or robot that had started life half human long ago; leap to the future and someone discovered there was still part of him as human, but they (the AI Computers) did not know that they had first come from humans and were trying to find the last bit of humanity left to destroy it. Might make a good short story.
