Thanks so much for the review! I honestly wasn't sure if anyone was still visiting the Innocent Life page but I remember how disappointed I was about the lack of stories (because it's such a cool concept!) so I put it up in case someone looked at it!
ANyway, this is Life's second week!
-Day 13, Spring 2023 (Sat)
Life had had a successful week and already sent out a shipment of asparagus and perfected three different types of tea and weeded the entire farm level. Usually,job having been completed, he would go into sleep mode until the next day but he had finished particularly early. Instead, he went to Moonlight's room. He stopped in front of an abstract painting consisting of heavy and light strokes of warm colors. Puzzled, he activated the zoom function in his eyes.
"Do you like it?" Moonlight said from behind him. Judging by the thickness of his voice, he must have just woken. Life looked at the painting again. It didn't mean anything.
He knew humans strove from originality and he was programmed not to say everything that occurred to his thought processing system. Instead, he told Moonlight what he thought he would like to hear.
"It's interesting."
Moonlight laughed loudly, surprising Life, who had not predicted that response.
"You don't need to say that, Life. I know you haven't grasped the concept of art and beauty yet, but don't worry." Moonlight said. Life thought briefly that Moonlight had become fond of him. The artist led him to another painting, this one was a painting of the ruins. It was very similar to the image in his head of the ruins. "Is this one easier for you to understand? It's less abstract."
"Yes." Life said. But if anything, this one left him more confused. In this day and age, there were several methods of preserving images and even memories. Life himself could even take pictures using his own built-in technology. Spending time and resources in order to create an imperfect representation of a location that Moonlight saw everyday was incredibly illogical.
Moonlight laughed again. "See? You're gonna be my biggest fan in no time at all!"
3rd week will be up soon!
