As Hysteria and Ellwood’s horse drank from the troughs, he and I talked over our options.
“I know you don’t want to leave for any length of time,” said Ellwood, “but you should at least leave for a few days.”
“I don’t see how leaving for a few days will help pie.”
“What?”
“Pie. I smell pie.”
“Oh no,” said he.
“Oh yes,” I replied.
I scanned the little square until I could see that which I could smell, which is to say a pie. A chubby little red-head with a checkered apron and a brown bonnet stood in an open doorway holding a pie.
“Eaglethorpe.”
“Hmm?”
“Eaglethorpe!”
“What?”
“As I have no desire to interfere with the love of your life…”
“I’ve never even seen her before,” said I.
“I meant the pie,” Ellwood continued. “As I have no desire to interfere, I’ll be leaving you now.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have business in Auksavl, but I’ll be back to Antriador in five days.”
“That will be the twelfth night.”
“Twelfth night of what?”
“It will be the twelfth night of this business with the sorceress.”
“Is that significant?”
“Not really.”
“You are so odd, Eaglethorpe.”
His Robot Girlfriend has topped 25,000 downloads! Yay!
A quick read, only a hundred or so pages. As the title suggests, it’s about a guy and his girlfriend, who is a robot. It’s not brilliant writing, but it is an enjoyable story and offers a glimpse into the future. It also pokes a bit of fun at the current age. I definitely recommend it.
And while I might have a disagreement with the “not brilliant writing part”, at least he recommends it in the end.
Now get to bed kiddies… Santa is already in the air!
