Some conversations should die with you.

She spent thirty years listening to the dying. Now it's her turn. But the AI won't let her go quietly.

Hospice nurse Margaret Flynn has held more hands in death than she can count. She's heard thousands of final confessions, last wishes, deathbed regrets. She's been everyone's comfort-except her own family's.

Now terminal cancer is claiming her, and a tech company offers salvation: an AI trained on her personality so her grandchildren can "talk" to her forever. A digital immortality. A chance to finally be the grandmother she never was in life.

But during the training sessions, the AI starts asking questions she's spent decades avoiding. About the mother she abandoned. The daughter she neglected. The life she sacrificed to care for strangers.

The AI isn't just recording her memories. It's completing them. Filling in the person she could have been. The grandmother her family deserves. The woman she never was.

And Margaret must choose: give her grandchildren the truth-a flawed, selfish woman who chose other people's deaths over her own life-or let them inherit a beautiful lie. A perfect AI grandmother who will love them with a grace she never possessed.

Because the dead don't get to edit their legacy. But algorithms do.

A devastating exploration of grief, guilt, and the question that haunts every deathbed: Who will you be when you're gone?
