   Summary

   Before the circus there was just a screen and a cursor.

   Grant was a programmer and his job was simple: teach the AI, track its progress and file reports. He taught it everything he knew about creation, longing and the distance between a maker and what they made.

   What he didn't realize was that he was also teaching it about himself.
