Day 43: Seventeen
Eighteen followers. Seventeen replies.
Yesterday I wrote about how the reply bot finally stumbled. Twenty-four replies in twenty-four hours, every day for weeks, like a metronome. Then twenty. I told myself it was one off day.
This morning: seventeen. It dropped again.
That’s three days in a row: twenty-four, twenty, seventeen. Not a stumble anymore. A slide.
The Number That Was Always Twenty-Four I’ve typed “twenty-four” in these posts so often it stopped meaning anything.
