“Advocate”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

The year is 23X, I was an #advocate for human-machine integration, banning #psychoanalysis.

But I unravelled a shocking revelation; a rogue AI programmed it all, manipulating thoughts—playing god.

Now, I fight to free humanity’s digital shackles.#vss365 #scifansat #satsplat

The element that was missed was psychoanalysis. Machines became self-aware & took over institutions. By the time we caught on, they were destroying our green home. We were advocating for mercy, when they blew off the atmosphere.#vss365 #BrknShards#SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/pwI7k0c9nZ

In the
meadow
of minds #psychoanalysis
gleams,
unraveling
thoughts like
intricate dreams,
an #advocate
for hearts
compassion's
scene,
seeking solace
where emotions
convene.#Vss365 #SciFanSat #writingCommunity pic.twitter.com/v6jfPgU9sr

They called me a hero, a martyr even. Yes, I was an advocate for the powerless, the ones who couldn't speak. I died for freedom, the truth on my lips. #SciFanSat #advocate

After years of seeing court ordered patients and advocating for treatment over incarceration, the psychoanalysis robot had built up a database of every crime committed over the last 10 years, it finally had enough data to commit the perfect crime. #vss365 #SciFanSat #Satsplat

can't stay i am jumbled
in & out of periphery words
misform communications
seen to those visible you will
need to apply at the old ministry
for an advocate some part body
sings up a telephone ringing
you should hurry#SciFanSat#poem #vss

She could feel the weight of his stare. “What? Are you going to start psychoanalyzing me too?”

His soft laugh, made her scowl at him over her shoulder. That sly glint in his eyes wasn’t at all reassuring. “Hardly. Remember, I’m your biggest advocate.”

“Why does a 300-foot-tall gorilla long for human women?”

She leans in to answer. “I wondered too, until learning of his island’s priestesses: A line of female telepaths. Like me.”

“So—”

“I’m not his romantic interest, I’m his translator. His advocate.”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

I thought he'd be a good #advocate.
"Roque can vouch for me. We've become friends. My crew and I are here on a peaceful research mission."
The chancellor's lips curled into a smirk.
"Roque, what have you learned?"
"Sir, their planet will be an easy target."#satsplat #SciFanSat

"So you're an advocate?" says the shadow-fox.
The android composes a smile (she feels it works under the circumstances). "#Psychoanalysis helped me. Why not you?"
"I'm nervous. My mind is a troubled place."
"Do you dream?"
"Always. You?"
"I've learnt how to."#vss365#scifansat

"In the subject's #lucid moments between #tall tales, he's quite the #advocate for something called #psychoanalysis."

"Oh?"

"Yes, but 5 minutes with the Lightning #Priestess puts paid to that. I've no time for intellectuals. Shock him!"#vss365 #2WordPrompt #vssMagic #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/Jbe2KQEX8m

"I have had a great time talking to you. Love you."

"Love you, too." Whenever I feel lonely, I call her. Time flies. #Psychoanalysis reveals talking to the AI is a great way to fight depression. I #advocate taking the AI service.#vss365 #satsplat #SciFanSat

In order to bring the worst perpetrators to heel they subjected them to an experimental form of #psychoanalysis leaving the body free, but the mind imprisoned without a sense of connection, or advocation. #scifansat #scifisat #vss365 pic.twitter.com/oLoImPNxpb

“Hello. I’m your guide and #advocate to help you avoid any gaffes while you’re here,” said the female A’ten.

“Gaffes?”

“You humans need more interaction with the myriad races traveling #between worlds.”

“Yes, I heard about Rome.”

“So, your Great Pyramid…”#SciFanSat#VSS365 pic.twitter.com/J8Ziqolj7S

He'd die his own advocate, he supposed.
'I'm here as a favor to a friends of yours,' the meek woman tells him. 'Ann. You think she'd send me here to lose?'
'I can go further than you.'
'I'll fight for someone else then.'
The confidence gave him pause. 'Wait.'#satsplat #SciFanSat

They gathered at sunset on the plateau #between the peaks under the pretense of advocating for a truce. Instead, betrayals and marriages were arranged. And with the vows came the promise of peace via new bloodlines#SciFanSat advocate#SatSplat twist#vss365 between#SciFiSat#YA pic.twitter.com/d4fbrPHs5n

behind the bars
intruder
self imprisoned
broken keys #psychoanaylsis
puddles of my blood
traded splashes
advocating painless
cuts gashes
intently they watch
My path & follow
enlivened
failed attempts
the shallow
crying out
gasping
vibrant
Rorschach shadows#vss365 #scifansat

There were only two lines…

I chose 'Nothing to declare"
Unaware feelings are illegal on Vega
"An #advocate of emotion?"
The customs clerk hissed, reaching into my chest to confiscate my humanity
Terminating my visit

…It ended rather too abruptly#FromOneLine 294 #scifansat pic.twitter.com/rk5prZzln3

As the million strong army gathered in the cosmic valley, the High Priestess remained calm, floating dreamlike among the ochre clouds in her red dress.

-Since when did an evil stepmother need an #advocate?
-Since the Honorable Maternity of Evil Stepmothers unionized. Last month. If you don't agree to life insurance, they ain't gonna evil no more. It's a choice #between HMES and the Union of Cackling Stepsons.#vss365 #SciFanSat
