She felt a relief of tension, she had not noticed previously, around her neck.

The brown, mundane, disheveled, door of her closet. Her peephole was in fact, simply the keyhole of her closet! It seemed impossible that after all she had been through, her own room was only a few feet away! Relieved, she called for help, sure that someone could hear her from the closet. Minutes passed, hours, and her voice was growing hoarse. The robot sat in the corner of the ice chamber, looking forlornly at the helpless human before it.

Latest Review: "My Beautiful Life" by Susie Barry

Post by cmp librarian »

The glow began to form into a shape she recognized. It looked like her brother.... but he seemed not to be himself. Something was definitely wrong.

(Side note: I love this idea. My roommates and I did this on our shower wall when we were seniors in college. It was so much fun. My the end of the semester we had an unusual but very creative short story that I then used as part of a children's creative writing class I was taking.)

Latest Review: "Kendra" by Grant Kniefel

Post by TLGabelman »

The Robot, whose name was Bigglesworth, began to do the Harlem Shake. A soft beat grew in her ears as her voice grew with confidence. Before she knew it she was dancing in step and singing in rythm, as if she'd been doing it her whole life. The power in her seemed to increase with each chord she bellowed and with each step she became more sure of the next she would take. Bigglesworth projected flashing disco lights on the surrounding four walls and ceiling. And then it hit her, "Veritum! Truth. A book of Truth!"

Bigglesworth was pulling on her pant leg and pointing to the computer. Genius, Brineesha thought. 'I've been thinking of this all wrong. Time to hit Google.'
