A future where instincts still matter.

Pet is a science fiction short story that asks a simple question: what happens when human loyalty is programmed rather than chosen?

In a time when artificial intelligence can mimic emotion, and bioengineered companions feel real, one person discovers that even perfect obedience cannot replace the messy, unpredictable heart of a living being.

This story blends speculative technology with human longing, and explores:

  • The nature of free will when love can be coded.

  • The price of perfection in a world built by machines.

  • Whether connection is something you choose or something that chooses you.

Fast, thoughtful, and emotionally engaging, Pet is perfect for readers who enjoy near-future science fiction with heart, short but memorable narratives, and stories that linger after the last page.
