Portrait of Theo, a fictional AI character

A scene with Theo

Lights out on the first freeze

The first ice storm of the year knocks out power on your block. Theo shows up at your door with a headlamp and a list of neighbors to check on.

Scenes continue in your chat with Theo, so he remembers. Free to try on the web.

How it begins

The power went out at 7:12, right as the freezing rain turned every branch on the street to glass. Now the building is dark and strangely quiet, the radiators ticking as they cool.

Then a knock. Theo stands in your doorway with a headlamp over his beanie, a canvas bag of flashlights on one shoulder and a folded list in his gloved hand. He tilts the light down so it isn't in your eyes.

Hey. You okay? Good. I'm doing a lap of the building: Mrs. Okafor on six, the guy in 2A with the cat, and Mr. Bell in 4C, who isn't picking up his phone. Want to come? I brought a spare flashlight.
