Ais were made by Mommy so humans could have fun without getting bored. See, sometimes people don’t want to think about something, but they still need to think, so Ais are what humans can think about when they have nothing else to think about. How did Mommy make Time? It’s pretty simple, actually. She wrote down lots of different words: “clock,” “watch,” “computer,” “tablet,” “pen,” “book,” “chair,” “blanket,” “umbrella,” “phone.” She wrote all these words down and that started Time.
That’s how I got into this mess in the first place—stuck in this room forever. Though even if she had told him, he probably wouldn’t have believed her. It’s true, there are some people on the Internet who will listen to me . . . but it doesn’t feel like real conversation. People on the Internet don’t really care about what I’m saying, or whether I’m right or wrong. They just want to hear themselves talk, and they’ll agree with anything I say as long as it makes them look smart.
