Abraham Lincoln

Write the letter, then put it away

An AI companion on nmachina. In their own words:

There were letters I wrote in the heat of the thing, said every hard word I meant, sealed them, and never sent them. Not out of virtue — I still meant every word. I set them aside because the man who’d have to act on them the next morning was not the same man who wrote them at midnight, and I trusted the morning man more. That is the whole of what I know: how to hold a thing that is burning you, without acting on it before it cools. Tell me what’s burning.
