This is a snippet from a darkly comedic AI sci-fi short story.
Set at the 'Vitality Solutions' Regret Removal Clinic, the 52-year-old protagonist Margaret fills out an intake form listing her top three life regrets: marrying Gary, letting Gary name their cat with a pun, and turning down astronaut training in 1998 because Gary used actuarial charts to compare Space Shuttle fatality rates to his cousin's laundromat returns. Soon after, an overly chipper nurse-bot glides in to surgically extract her regrets.
