Written September 18, 2026 For The Contest, “Later Than Witchcraft” Sponsor: Matt Caliri
The Robots are here, with more every day to mimic our actions in work and play. They're programmed to help in all that we do and serve with allegiance, steadfast and true. As time goes by, increasing their score with added AI, their "brains" do much more! Expressions will change as eyes flash, beware; belligerent smiles strip away care. Intelligence shows a semblance of thought; programmers express, “what have we wrought!” Compared to old days of witchcraft fear- new era of Robots- lord keep us clear. Those Witches of folklore, evil or not- won't match the terror of what we begot.
