Everyday I get a word from a random word generator. Using that word, I ask my AI to tell me a story.

Here is today’s word: EX

Here is that story:

The sound of the alarm clock broke the silence of the room, and I groggily reached out to turn it off. As I sat up, I felt a wave of nausea wash over me, and memories of the previous night flooded back. Exhaling deeply, I tried to shake off the feeling and got out of bed. I stumbled into the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face in an attempt to wake up.

It had been a long time since I had seen my ex, and I couldn't believe how quickly things had spiraled out of control. We had ended things on good terms, and I thought I had moved on. But as soon as I saw him at that party, it was like a switch had been flipped, and everything came rushing back.

We caught up over a few drinks, and it felt like old times. I couldn't help but feel like maybe we could make things work again. And then, before I knew it, we were back at his place, tangled up in each other.

But now, in the harsh light of day, I realized that it was all a mistake. We had broken up for a reason, and nothing had fundamentally changed. It was just a moment of weakness, and I needed to move on.

With a heavy heart, I got dressed and headed out the door. As I walked through the busy streets of the city, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness wash over me. It was time to put the past behind me and move on with my life.

As the days turned into weeks, I tried to focus on work and friends, but my mind kept drifting back to my ex. It was like a constant battle between my heart and my head, and I didn't know what to do.

One day, as I was scrolling through social media, I came across a picture of him with someone else. It felt like a punch to the gut, and all of the memories came flooding back. Anger, jealousy, and sadness all bubbled up inside me, and I couldn't shake it off.

I decided to take a break from social media and focus on myself. I started going to the gym regularly, taking long walks, and reading books. Slowly but surely, I started feeling better.

As time went on, I started dating again, but every time someone asked about my ex, I cringed. I didn't want to talk about him, but I also didn't want to lie. It was like he was this ghost that haunted me, and I couldn't escape him.

One day, as I was taking a walk by the river, I saw him again. It had been months since we had last spoken, and I didn't know how to react. My heart was racing, and I felt like I was going to be sick.

He walked over to me, and we exchanged awkward hellos. It was like we were strangers again, and all of the memories had faded away. We caught up on the past few months, and I noticed that something was different. It was like the spark that had always been between us had dimmed, and we were just two people who had once been in love.

As we said our goodbyes, I realized that I had finally moved on. The ex who had haunted me for so long was just that – an ex. He was a part of my past, and nothing more.

From that day on, I felt free. I had let go of the past, and I was ready to move on with my life. It wasn't always easy, but I knew that I was stronger for it. My ex had been a lesson learned, and I was grateful for the experience.
