AI will improve our lives, they said. There is nothing to be afraid of, they said... “Welcome to Prigesux!”

I am not sure I would want to eat a 1000-year-old sandwich. 🤣

Wow. That wasn’t what I was expecting at all. Their entire lives are done and over with—for these selfish creatures to eat—sandwiches??

I love this story so much I want to marry it. I particularly liked them wondering if they'd get a tip. Good work!

I feel bad for laughing. Poor Santiago and Harrison, but this is darkly humorous. I wonder what the aliens do to all the delivery men they captured after they've eaten the food. Do they eat the delivery men?

I think when we find aliens, their wishes and behaviors will be beyond our comprehension.
