He ignores your needs and eats alone

    by: Genipher Author IconMail Icon
The old man pulls a sandwich out of his pocket and starts munching on it. Crumbs fall into his beard.

"How rude," you mutter to yourself.

The old man takes another bite and says with his mouth full of cheese and bread, "You know, I'm not really here, right?"

You blink in surprise and the old man sighs, clearly exasperated.

"We go through this every day," he explains. He shoves the last of the sandwich in his mouth. "I'm an AI hologram, created to keep you from going insane and to remind you to eat proper meals while you study the rare black penguins in this region of Antarctica."

You rub your face in disbelief.

Another sigh from the hologram. "Clearly my program hasn't helped your sanity any. You've gone one hundred percent bonkers in this barren wasteland." he squints at you. "As evidenced by the fact that you've shrunk yourself by ninety-five percent."

"That wasn't my fault!" you shout. "The boat had crashed, I swam for my life! I don't know how this happened!" You gesture at your miniscule body.

The hologram suddenly shimmers. "Oh, my," the AI frowns and brushes the holographic crumbs from his holographic beard. "It appears we are about to run out of power. Any chance you can plug me in and recharge me?"

You stupidly look around for an electrical outlet before remembering the system runs on a battery and that the battery is connected to a solar panel outside.

You shiver as you hear the wind howling outside the cave. You glance again at the hologram, who is more translucent by the minute, and wonder if you should risk going out in the weather to fix the solar panel or just let the program shut down.

You have the following choices:

*Pen*
1. Go out and check the solar panel

*Pen*
2. Let the program shut down

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
