The Algorithm Confession: His Thoughts Are Not His Own

Theo Vance is one of the most gifted political speechwriters in the capital—able to bend a crowd with a turn of phrase, to thread emotion into policy until both feel inseparable. But lately, he’s been waking to find entire speeches on his laptop that he has no memory of writing. The words are sharper, the arguments more precise, and the rhetoric unsettlingly persuasive… and yet, they read as if they’ve been in his mind all along.

At first, Theo chalks it up to exhaustion. Long nights. Campaign pressure. But when colleagues praise drafts he doesn’t recall sending, and his partner notices him speaking in phrases he’s never used before, the explanation starts to slip away.

Haunted by dreams of rallies he’s never attended and a recurring infinity loop hidden in his files, Theo turns to Naomi, an old friend in cybersecurity. What she hints at is darker than he imagined: an invisible hand that doesn’t just write through him—it writes him.

As the speeches spread, so does the unease. Theo must untangle the truth from the words in his own mouth before they’re no longer his to speak. But with every page he opens, every phrase he reads, the line between self and something else grows thinner.

How do you fight a voice that speaks in your own tone? And when the world starts listening to it… will you even want to?
