What if the one who cannot speak is the best listener in the room?
I wrote “Humpty” about a robot who arrives in pieces and a household that is not as put together as it looks. What happens when the quietest presence in the house starts to see everything? What would change in your own home if someone truly listened? Featuring Timothy Brien as the Man.
This is a story about listening, love, and what it really means to be human. But how human can a machine become? And what does that say about us?
