The west in 2026
a medieval king's court
written by telenovela writers
produced as a military-grade psyop
streamed to a society of fruit flies
this week's episode: the AI emperor abdicates.
next week on the court:
the treasurer reads the royal accounts aloud.
the king’s heir from the rival house declines to comment.
the jesters price it all in.
the flies have forgotten who the emperor was.
