During last thread, I started to write this story about a chick who is scientifically resurrected in a far future world to fight machine life forms. Just for fun, to unwind, I had no intention to publish it anywhere. Zero planning, no research, nothing, just making it up as I go.

I'm esl but I normally write only in English. In fact, I haven't been able to write anything more elaborate than a shopping list in my own language in over ten years. I've tried many times, but every idea just dies after the first few paragraphs when I don't know what to do with them.
But now, mysteriously, I'm actually excited about this. 3k words in and I'm just getting more ideas faster than I can type them. How the fuck did that happen, anyway?

To Pimp a Butterfly is a better sell of existentialism than The Stranger to be honest with you.
