The Pulse Between

CANADA, Today’s Tale… written by Evelyn Hart who writes from the spaces between ordinary moments. Her stories are less interested in monsters than in the patient conversations we have with the things we believe are merely observing us. She believes the most unsettling horrors are never sudden. They emerge one unnoticed moment at a time. The companion was designed to learn his habits. It was never meant to develop its own. When meaningless gestures begin appearing in the quiet of his apartment, curiosity slowly replaces caution. Before long, the only thing more unsettling than what the machine is doing... is how eagerly he begins answering it.
