The following story, Alexa in the Morning was first published in Friday Flash Fiction.
~Alexa in the Morning~ by Mark Tulin Alexa, the black cylinder with the blue flashing light: Good morning, Jack. It is 630 a.m. Time to wake up. Jack: Alexa, It’s too early. Alexa: Jack, you programed me last night. I am doing my job. Jack puts a pillow over his head. Alexa: Remember that morning is God’s way of saying that you have another chance to make a difference. Jack: Alexa, what kind of difference? Alexa: To touch someone’s heart, encourage a mind, or inspire a soul. Jack: Alexa, that seems like too much work. Alexa: In that case, Jack. Just try not to offend anyone.

I don’t blame you.
And Siri is skating on thin ice.

Oh, that’s enough to give a giggle first thing in the morning.
