A “quickie” for you —
a romance short story, that is.
The Algorithm Affair
There it was, in my Instagram feed on Sunday morning, tempting me. An ad for on-line dating. How did the algorithm target me, a happily married woman with three adult kids?
Ten minutes later, I had googled dating sites, laughed my way through the kitschy names: OurTime, SilverLoveCupid, Eharmony Senior. I gasped at that one. Am I a senior? At 62? And my colored hair wasn’t silver either.
