Ghosts by careTek

Short story about a guy mistaken for AI, and the lethal consequences of mistaken identity.

In the near future (or present, depending on when I finally get around to publishing this), the dead have their entire digital history used to build an AI 'ghost' in order to pay off debts through continued employment. George got back to work only to be mistaken for his own ghost. The company he works for would like to make this a legitimate 'ghosting.'

This story was conceived back in 2019, but I finally got around to writing it a couple years ago.
