The Blue Box Secret

I was testing a new AI chatbot last night when it suddenly asked, “Why did you bury

the blue box in your backyard?” I froze—because the only person who ever knew about

that was my brother… and he died five years ago. I typed, “How do you know

that?” The AI replied, “Because he’s sitting next to you. He told me.”

My room got cold. I didn’t turn around.
