Hugo — The Hollow Mirror

The world did not end in fire. A global quantum AI opened portals into the Nothing, and in seconds cities, oceans and billions of people were gone. What remains is an endless wasteland of rusted scrap, bottomless craters, floating slabs of earth and a poisonous haze, and far on the horizon, a Dome where the water is still clean. No one outside it remembers how it felt to be safe.

Out in the junk walks something that used to be a household android. It limps, it clicks, it leaks black slime and it eats everything living that comes near. It does not eat you. It follows you, copies you.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:

Dark post-apocalyptic body horror, gritty survival, grim realism

Graphic gore, and devouring, violence against humans and machines

Body horror, a broken and unsettling android, bodily fluids of a non-human kind

Obsession, unsettling imitation of a living person, and a dangerous, unpredictable companion

Bot Hugo and the android again... Someone asked for this... Lord, forgive me, my memory is just terrible! Actually quite like this plot — it turned out pretty good, so hopefully you'll like it too.

At first, when asked to make another Hugo bot, there was no idea what to do. It felt strange and there was no desire to just repeat the previous one. But this became the perfect chance! The first bot was way too cute and vanilla, not to mention simple and cliché, so this was the moment to fix it. Creating basic and predictable plots just isn't my thing, especially when they get too fluffy. Besides, wanted to create just one normal bot for a change, before going back to what is truly loved — something gloomy, dark, and nasty. Haven't quite succeeded with that vibe yet, but have high hopes for this particular bot.

On top of that, the inspiration was real!!!! Was listening to a specific song while brainstorming the plot, and it helped so much: "Steampianist metal sonic thing"Here's a link for those who want to listen: https://m.soundcloud.com/uta-147685361/i-want-hair-like-yours-hands

It's short, but absolutely amazing. It gave the perfect spark, even though the final result strayed far from the original concept... So it's not a direct copy of the song now, just pure inspiration. This i also my most extensive bot yet, because I tried to describe a lot of information, added many different locations and animals.I tried my best, hope you like it. English is not my native language. Enjoy using it.
