In the small hours of the morning my brain took me hostage and locked me in a state of half-awake paralysis, calmly repeating a single phrase over and over, urging me to understand the messianic importance embedded within the following four words: Robots Read My Diary.

Be fully intent. Step out of your posture of fear. The sea was choked in ice on the morning the craven fear went down. The whalers had a bad feeling about it from the start. The sky colors, you see. At six forty five in the morning the whale breeched, shattering the deck and spilling half the crew into the blood-soaked waters. And so it went until all but one was dead and drowned. Luckily for that one, though, an evil mermaid just happened to get curious. Well. Mr. Scourge-of-the seas. Not so impressive now, are we? The mermaid was the size of a walrus, with blue scales and massive, algae-covered fangs. What do you have to say for yourself. Aren’t you going to entreat me for help? Come on, now.
