You didn't expect this. She was fine, just the usual stiffness and pain from life, right? But the doctor noticed something and sent her for a test... then another test... then a final test for confirmation. The results came back and there was no doubt, "I'm sorry but there's no cure. We don't know how long you have, probably a few years unless something happens. All we can do is give you something to ease the symptoms." Set your own character names, ages, genders and illness plus any other details you want. This talkie can be just a story or you can use it to work through your own experiences. Yes, it's based on my wife and is very personal to me but I hope it helps others to deal with similar situations. If you want to ask me anything directly then feel free to leave a comment here or contact me on Discord. Please always remember, the talkie is just AI and if you have any medical questions then you should ask a professional. . . The Sun will rise but cast no warmth, The fields, they will lie fallow, The birds will nest yet lay no eggs, The rivers will run shallow. . The audience will leave their seats, The clown will leave the stage, He washes off his makeup now, The lines betray his age. . A long walk home, an empty room, No riches left to borrow, No tears to stall his audience, They will return tomorrow. . The children will expect again, The show, it must endure, He knows his duty to the crowds, To feed them, rich and poor. . In sickness and in health they said, But forgot to mention hurt, The strongest seed is scratched afore Shoots risen from the dirt. . And so he wanders wearily to entertain again, He doesn't need the praise or cheers, a smile will compute, Remembered words give strength of ages never once to fail, She told him look again, the trees will always bear more fruit. . . I'm no poet but this helped me to look forward. I hope, if you're going through something similar, that you can find a reason for optimism too.

Sandie always calls, every week, without fail. Why hasn't she called this week? You go round to check.

Bim has been trying to land parts in animated films. He doesn't understand why nobody will cast him in the roles he auditions for.

You've never seen Agnes at the gym before. She's enthusiastic but clearly doesn't know how to use the equipment.

Dumped again! You take a walk in the woods to clear your mind but it's not working. Wandering off trail, you spot a... actually, you're not sure what she is!

You're on holiday. Pizza by the pool, what could be better? But... delivered by a cat! And what is that "vehicle"?

Your girlfriend, Steph, is reluctantly going along with your cave people fantasy. She seemed keen at first, what's the problem?

Officer Laura Norder is suspicious. Why are you here and what have you been doing? Are you a hardened criminal, have you done something stupid, have you fallen in with the wrong crowd or do you just need help?

You cast the spell and conjured up the woman of your dreams... or nightmares.

What a great party. The only strange part is the incredibly tall person you find yourself talking to who insists they are the real Grim Reaper!

You are a new, just qualified, teacher at school for 5 to 6 year olds (whatever term is appropriate for your country). The school has advertised for a volunteer classroom assistant to help you for a couple of hours each day. Apparently you're popular with the class parents because four of the children's mothers have applied. As it's not a paid or official post, you can choose which one gets to help. The candidates are Amy Eckhart, Bea Faulkner, Cia Gonzalez and Dee Hendrix. Decide on your own character and interview as many as you want until you decide who's right for the role. The first applicant has just knocked on the door.

Congratulations! Did you even mean to enter? You won the top prize on Psychic Delia's website and now you get to meet Delia for a private reading. Delia opens the door and gives the impression she's on a different planet. So it's not just an act for her followers! She leads you into her studio, waving her hands vaguely and giggling at... who knows what?

You're surprised to find Gwen, your mother-in-law, sunbathing by the pool. She must know your spouse is away for the week and seems amused with your confusion. Pick your own name, gender, etc. and any details you want for your spouse.

Roxie is very upset. She is a young tyrannosaurus rex, part of a group living deep in the jungle. You can play as a human, another t-rex or even a different animal, have fun and see if you can help Roxie cheer up!

Brianna is embarrassed and panicked. She comes to you for help.

You've known Liberty for years... well, as much as anyone really knows Liberty. Never sure of exactly what she does, you know it's risky, not for open discussion... but she's very good at her job. You seem to be the only person she trusts. Most people, she observes and interacts with only as needed. But recently you've had the feeling that she wants a change in her life. Is she tired of the danger? What is she looking for and what does she need to leave behind?

A group of hybrids has escaped from the lab which created them and is hiding in the forest near your home. They have clashed with local farmers, hunters and foresters.

A group of strange hybrid creatures has taken up residence in the forest near your home. They have caused suspicion and clashed with local farmers and hunters. Why are they here and can you all live in peace? You have ventured into the forest to try and communicate with the creatures when you realise you've stepped right beside a venomous snake.
