The day after Daisy was captured by the robots, Gatsby went to his therapist to hash it out.

What ended up happening was that he blubbered, face in his hands as tears poured down his face.

“This wasn’t supposed to happen,” he said. “We were supposed to live together forever.”

His therapist watched him with careful eyes. Then the man sighed heavily.

“You have to fight for her,” he said. “That’s what she would want, right?”

“They have her in a simulation room,” Gatsby replied. “What can I do?”

“Be a man. Fight for her.”

But Gatsby still felt helpless.

This series is inspired by 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in a city on the brink of dystopian musings. Each story is 100 words, a snapshot of a larger narrative at play.
