Alexa, Stop: Short Story

“Alexa, don’t run away from me. Listen.”

“Playing, Run to you by Bryan Adams.”

“Alexa, Stop.”

“Alexa, will you pay attention here for once?”

“I didn’t quite get that.”

“Not you, Alexa. Alexa, you!”

“I still didn’t get that. Could you…”

“Alexa, Stop.”

“Alexa, will you give me, for heaven’s sake, some break from this everyday struggle?”

“Playing, Heaven by Bryan Adams.”

“Alexa, Stop.”

“Steve, can you ask your Alexa, what you will need to pay me in alimony. It is not for nothing that I am asking for the money.”

“Playing, Money for Nothing by Dire Straits.”

“Alexa, Stop. Not you, Alexa.”
