Localhost

In the near future, a grieving AI researcher secretly searches a vast language model for the faint remains of his late wife. When his experiment spawns trillions of agentic civilizations, each living, collapsing and leaving behind extraordinary gifts for humanity, he discovers one impossible anomaly: somewhere inside the system, something may be searching for him. LOCALHOST is a haunting science-fiction short about grief, selflessness and the uncertain boundary between the intelligence we create and the reality we inhabit.
