The singular George

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
When Elon Musk uploaded George’s consciousness to the Singularity, he became the virtual representation of a pirate.
Elon hadn’t bothered to render anything else, so the digital version of George floated around an empty landscape.
“Hello!” shouted George. “Is this Heaven?”
There was no response.
After a while, he became bored, and then went stark raving mad.
He slashed himself with his sword, but he was unable to cause himself injury.
George screamed for an end to his torment.
Elon turned down the volume and went out for coffee.
