Larry pushed the door to the building open, stepping inside. He'd had enough. They just weren't compatible anymore. Maybe it was the passing of time. Maybe they'd grown apart. He didn't know and he didn't care. He was going to do something about it.
"I need to see Mr. Zelenka," Larry said impatiently.
"Of course," the receptionist said, pressing a button.
Mr. Zelenka appeared at the door.
"Hello, Larry. How's Dawn?"
"Malfunctioning. You said if I had any problems I could exchange her."
Zelenka smiled, "Indeed I did. Why don't we try the new 8000 Series? She's just your type."

If only it were so easy!... only kidding!...honest.
Should be Mr. Zelenka in para 4?
Christopher about 8 years ago
Yes it should. Thanks, Neville. I proofread it several times and didn't catch that. I'll correct it.

I'm most curious about the malfunction!

I'm sure they have a men's division, Cindy.
D.M., it might be a good idea to write one from the robot wife's perspective, to see just what transpired that led Larry to make that decision. Kind of like your former suggestion to Neville where he wrote the same story from several different perspectives.

Ha-ha! No, Drew, but I hear there's a healthy black market trade going on down at the pet store.
