A breakdown in the relationship was inevitable once the virus had seeped into the memory of one machine and then into the other through a singular network cable affecting the poetic text files. Communication between the two deteriorated, leading to irrational & at times odd behaviour. Each machine reacted with equal confusion and conflict. The interface text became an illegible poetic mutation of itself.

And the voice was many-eyed and many-winged. And the voice was beautiful. And the voice was terrifying. The voice was not a voice, but a burn across the mind. The burn said "I love you." But you could not see through the hurt.
