“We did.” Mortimer forced himself to smile. As he stood, facing what used to be The Machine, he knew only two truths: he had never taken Penny to get ice cream, and whatever The Machine had become was only pretending to be his dead wife. Oh my. That is uncannily spooky. Shades of "Invasions of the Body Snatchers" but with a much more poetic style. Nicely done. Shivers. Frisson.
