The atmosphere was electric at the dog track.
This would be Lightning Lil's 100th race and she had won 87 of her previous races.
The bunny tore past the waiting dogs, as much in fear for its life as any electro-mechanical bunny could be.
Sock Puppet took the lead, followed by Vajazzle, Headshrinker, Custody Battle, Mohawk, and last but not least, the appropriately named Brewers Droop.
Gasps of disbelief came from the crowd as they realised Lightning Lil had failed to start.
Lil had to malfunction sometime, after all this was 2085 and all of the greyhounds were robots.

Great stuff!! I wonder if the fact the robot dogs can malfunction is built into the betting odds?

Quite likely, Peter! Thanks!
