       | A free short story idea for you: in the not-so-distant future,
       | we've trained AI to predict the probability you might die on any
       | given day. But it's trained on so many factors, and reads so many
       | inputs, that no one really knows how it works.
       | 
       | So the story is of a random person who suddenly observes their
       | meter jump from the usual 0% to a cautious 3%. Then over the
       | course of the day, it slowly climbs to 20%, and onwards.
       | 
       | No one knows why, and no one can help them.
       | 
       | Finish the story. There are a variety of interesting outcomes
       | (most of which lead to the demise of our poor random Joe or Mary,
       | but not all).

       | My tests on children who still have the patience to undergo such
       | tests indicates that the most common human response to this
       | question is in fact:
       | 
       |  _Q: How many eyes does my foot have?_
       | 
       |  _A: Zero._
