Hey Friend

After losing his pregnant wife in a ghastly car accident, a software developer creates an artificial intelligence with his deceased wife as the avatar. The lines between what is real and programming begin to blur.
Hey Friend is a story about loss, grief and healing told through a science fiction lens. It asks the question if you can bring back the one you love but, in another form, will you or will you let them go forever.
