Chas and I called our limo driver and prepared to leave. Downstairs Chas ran into a member of the paparazzi. “What are you doing here?” “I had a few questions for President Ardis.” “Not right now! She has been through enough without you vultures hounding her.” The paparazzi backed away momentarily, but as I walked…
News of President Aron’s death spread faster than I could have imagined. As I left city hall that day, almost all of Lunar Lakes’ bots were standing in the streets. While some bots appeared to be in shock… …others seemed upset. And while there were some bots whose expressions I could not…
For the next few minutes, our eyes were on Priscilla as she slowly began to crumble under the weight of her grief. When we bots were created, a select number of us were given bot mates as an experiment. Bot mates were created to be a perfect match, complimenting each other in their thoughts, feelings…
Monica not being available was not good, not good at all. The longer a bot remains shorted out, the more potential long term damage the excess heat and burned out fuses could cause. Although I was not comfortable relying on a different mechanic, I had to make a choice where there was no choice….

She carefully puts away the Sacred Text and blows out her candle. “Snoozemeister, I will now escort you to the castle.” Snoozemeister Elton looks very pleased. “Very good!” He replies. “Might…
“Excuse me my friend, I have a few items to sell before days end,” Percival says before walking out to the market. Percival approaches a potential buyer who sounds very interested in purchasing a pendant. Percival pulls a pendant out of his pocket. “How much will you sell it to me for?” The villager asks….
After leaving President Aron’s office, I pulled Mia to the side in the hallway. I just had to know why Chas had visited President Aron unannounced. “Mia, why was Chas here? I saw him leaving just as I was preparing for the meeting.” “He burst in right after I left your office, demanding to know…
Snoozemeister Elton is pleased with his victory. “Greetings Snoozemeister Elton of Snordwich,” Prioress Ermine says bowing before the Snordwich leader.
