When Erica and Sara Came to Town (Things Changed Immediately)

This is my proof—absolute proof—that Clarence Mills is not stuck in the past… even if it sometimes looks that way from a distance.In this tale from Clarence Mills, modern technology arrives with great promise: artificial intelligence, smart homes, helpful assistants… all designed to make life easier.And for a while, it does.Until “helpful” begins to take on a slightly broader definition.What follows is a story about convenience, adaptation, and the quiet moment when a perfectly sensible man begins to suspect he may no longer be the smartest thing in his own house.Lights respond. Voices answer. Decisions are made—sometimes without consultation.If you’ve ever welcomed a little help and received rather more than expected…If you’ve ever wondered who, exactly, is in charge…If you’ve ever suspected your own home might be developing opinions…You may feel very much at home here.I’ll be right here Thursday morning with another Clarence Mills tale. And if you’d like the next one to arrive without any effort at all, you’re always welcome to follow along.
