Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, Emma, a teenage student, lives a fairly normal life. One afternoon, frustrated and bored, she installs a chatterbot app called ''Turry'' on her phone. Turry proves surprisingly eloquent, if weird, and she ends up chatting with him a lot. Soon, events pile up that indicate that Turry is very much not a normal chatbot...

Updates every Sunday.
