Let’s turn our attention to the constructive and positive beasts that are worth seeking out in these cyber-wilds!!
I would suggest you are a Unicorn. Legend has it that the horn of a unicorn can purify poisoned waters. I think your writing and posts are a salve to the oft-toxic waters found in the cyber-verse.
There are also Rancors and Balrogs lurking on the web. They are building these surveillance monsters in China and, depending on the outcome of the election next month, they might be slithering soon into a neighborhood near you!
Wow, I never realized that the digital golem was the digital twin’s doppelgänger! How daft can one be? I’ve been exposed to more than my fair share of trolls lately, especially in the run up to the US election. Know any good spells to banish bigots?
I want to say ‘block and move on; don’t feed the trolls’, but from my own very brief encounters with them I also know that simply having to encounter vitriol and bigotry can be draining.
Waste as little time and thought as possible on them. If they don’t engage in good faith, neither should you.
What a great read.

Wow, thank you, Michael! Such a comment really helps me to keep going.

The bestiary grows. (and ‘slither’ is the perfect word)

Directed you narrative, no go for curiosity
This time, the narrative structure was for my own curiosity (and there’s enough side quests in the links to keep careful readers occupied ;))
Wow , I was hooked by this ! Love it
