"The Peacock," By Ted Infinity and Nabil Hijazi

And another recommendation! This is brilliant: spam as an intelligent life form ("I AM EVOLVED FROM A SOPHISTICATED MASS MAILING ALGORITHM. WE DO NOT LIKE THE TERM SPAMMER"), lonely and seeking freedom.

I read this based on a Twitter recommendation, which is kind of like clicking on a spam link? Okay, no, not really. But it was well worth it. How can you resist a story that contains a love declaration like "I LOVE YOU ... COME TRY THE NEW DREAMWIDTH DOT ORG OF SEX"?

(See how I avoided making it blinking and scrolling? It's because I'm understated.)
