Featured Monologue – Doll and the Dog

IRENE: I like to break things, Gregory. Ever since I was a kid. It made me feel better to shatter life. Whatever was in my path, it could be anything really, a car, a door, a person; I would break them and feel better from doing it. I somehow found the space to breathe again. This design, whoever designed it, wasn’t as smart as people think. The math isn’t as good as it performs. Sure, it makes sense, this program, but I mean, YEAH, it functions, but there are loose ends. It’s not perfect. Which leads me to think there’s a higher realm that even the designers of this system aren’t aware of. It annoys me. Which is why I’ve ruined things, including myself…to continue inside this… algorithm that has limitations.
