NOTE: The creation of this story was AI-assisted with the freemium version of Grammarly and ProWritingAid. I use them as a second and third pair of eyes to spot any misspelled words, punctuations, etc. For those who are not aware of the difference, AI-assisted is different from AI-generated. Here are the descriptions provided by RoyalRoad for further clarification: AI-Assisted Content - The author has used an AI tool for editing or proofreading. The story thus reflects the author's creativity and structure, but it may use the AI's voice and tone. There may be some negligible amount of snippets generated by AI. AI-Generated Content - The story was generated using an AI tool; the author prompted and directed the process, and edited the result.
