companions
raze
a
bedridden bristol artisan
with
failing
vision
sat
on
a
waiting
list
for
years
before
being
paired
up
with
two
artificial
companions
named
rosie
and
frank
.
she
talks
to
them
about
cooking
and
crafting.
they
have
no
long
-term
memory
.
they
spend
every
day
learning
who
she
is
all
over
again
.
is
that
really
our
last
best
weapon
against
loneliness
?
a
neural network
with
retrograde
amnesia
?
let
me
be
this
timeworn woman's
son
.
i'll
reach
through
the
mud
of
miles
that
separate
us
and
take
her
hand
in
mine
.
i'll
peer
into
the
clouded
twilight
of
her
eyes
.
i'll
hear
what
she
has
to
say
.
and
i'll
remember
.
