I have not received official word on this story, but enough time has passed that I can only assume I am a loser. Nevertheless, here it is!
Chips Ahoy
I was beginning to regret my decision to kill Kevin so impulsively. Now I only have a photo on my phone. So many parts inside these old watches! Oy! Why don’t I think these things out?
Living next to the Cambrinis, I knew that Grandfather Gino was a consummate watch repairman with a garage shop. He had dozens of old watches he tinkered with, still there after he died. Father Robert used his inherited talents for tiny parts, working on a revolutionary chip for the next generation of AI. Kevin thought the chip could be worth BILLIONS.
When Kevin’s father was fired, he stole the chip and hid it in one of the old watches. Kevin made the mistake of telling me. Remember? Impulse problems? We tortured his father to get him to tell us exactly where the chip was. Unfortunately, I tortured him a little too hard.
Kevin got angry and started beating me. Well, he did for a little while. Then I got the upper hand.
Now I had to find the damn chip by myself, with only their cat to keep me company. I had a pile of watch gears, nothing that looked like a chip.
I refused to give up. The cost had been way too high. Then Eureka! I found it. The cat swooped in and swallowed it whole.
Should I gut the cat and get the chip, or should I wait for it to pass?
I decided to wait.
I’m not a monster, you know.
