Story Continued

So my wife has pointed out that she is intrigued with the story and that she is enjoying it, but that it is not coming fast enough and so she gets frustrated with reading it. I can see how this might be frustrating and may not work for a blog format. That being said I am really enjoying the new format of my blog. So I need some feedback from my blogging friends. I have been using the new format for my blog for two weeks now and the question is are you enjoying it? Please let me know even if you have never commented before. Blogging is fun for me but I enjoy having people read it as well. If followers are becoming disinterested in my blog and not coming back then there is no reason for me to continue the new format. Thanks for the feedback and support.


“Does she know yet?”
“I don’t think she does,” Tim said. “I think we should leave it that way, at least for now.”
Tabatha woke from a restless sleep, the cot was nothing compared to her bed at home and that wasn’t much. She sat up, every muscle in her body crying out to her to lie back down.
“She’ll find out eventually.”
“I know, but let’s give her some time. She is different from the others,” Tim said.
Tabatha looked towards the voices, her mind barely registering what was being said. She stood and made her way to the fridge. There wasn’t much in the fridge. Other than a few bottles of water there were a few yogurts and some fruit. She grabbed a yogurt and an apple and sat down at the table still trying to figure out exactly who and what Tim was talking about.
“It doesn’t matter right now anyway. We are planning on going in tonight and we will need to make sure everything is ready,” Tim said.
“I agree. We can deal with this at another time, but I think that it should be sooner rather than later.”
Footsteps echoed through the building and then Tim and another android appeared in the entryway. The other android was an even older model than Tim. He wore clothes that gave him the appearance of being human, but the light reflected off of his metallic head.
“Good morning Tabatha,” Tim said and then pointed to the other android. “This is Phil.”
“Hello Tabatha, I am pleased to meet you.”
The apple made a hollow thumping sound as it fell from Tabatha’s hand and hit the table. “I thought the older models couldn’t talk.”
“Phil and those like him had the programming to talk, they just lacked the hardware. We have been able to scavenge a few old voice boxes to implant in them.”
“I know this must be hard for you,” Phil said.
“No, I mean yes, but…”Tabatha stammered then stood. “I mean it’s nice to meet you Phil.”
Phil smiled and extended his metallic hand.
Tabatha grasped the cold metal giving a half smile. Releasing the grip she absently rubbed it with her other hand trying to warm it.
“We need to prepare for tonight. The child is being moved tomorrow and this will be our last opportunity to get to him.”

  2. I like the new setup. I wouldn't complain if the story excerpts were longer but I understand if you don't have the time.

  3. I think the fact that I never delete your posts unread, even when it takes me nearly a week to get to them should tell you something :-)

    I'm with the others, I'd love longer excerpts, but that's just because I'm greedy and want to know where the story is going :-)
