Description
Carbon (a girl) and Sentient (a synthetic fox) find an old robot that will change their quiet lives forever - and maybe reveal a secret one of them has been trying to keep from the other at all cost. *** Twitter Version refers to the fact that the first 12 parts of this story were published on Twitter first - and that is why they're so short. *** Words with hashtags indicate the prompts that inspired that particular part of the story. *** The hashtag #vss365 at the end of a segment implies that the prompt that inspired it was posted by volunteers of "very short stories 365" on Twitter. *** Whenever the prompt was a picture posted by #turtlewriters on Twitter, a copy of it has been added to the part of the story it inspired. *** Update: A new, edited version of Carbon & Sentient has been published as "All Humans to the Tunnels" on Lulu, and Amazon Kindle. You can download for free on Lulu and at the iBookstore.
