The following is a little story about a big robot with a little heart. Or a big killing heart. You decide. Give me a suggestion or two about what to call it.

While there is mention of death, violence, and other people, it focuses on the two main characters. So feel free to read it to your kids as a bedtime story.

a short story pt1

There once was a big robot, his name was Sunny Blue Robot. He was a nice robot but a clumsy robot. When I say he was nice, i mean that he thought he was nice. Or at least he saw crushing small children with his big flat feet as nice. [Who am I to judge? People in glass houses, you know.] Anyway, Sunny Blue Robot was out crushing small children when he got tired and decided to take a break. So he sat on a building. Where else would a big robot like Sunny Blue Robot sit? Seriously, you tell me where a freakin' robot like that could sit? You tell me and I'll draw it. Anyway, after he wasn't tired anymore, he got up to continue crushing small children.

Sunny Blue Robot rounded a corner only to find Little Jacob. Little Jacob was running for cover with everyone else when he noticed a $100 bill lying on the ground only inches from where a crumpled body lay motionless on the ground. The man had been trampled to death by the escaping crowd. "$100 bucks! I could get a wicked tatoo with that." thought Little Jacob, "I'll chance it." So Little Jacob darted out into the street. Sunny Blue Robot stopped and computed, "This little boy is risking his life for money to buy his family food. How wonderful." Then he thought, "Could this be compassion that I'm experiencing? A feeling close to love? That's it, I feel love."

Sunny Blue Robot realized that what he was feeling was love. Love for money. And a love for crushing small children under his massive flat foot. But as he was about to step on Little Jacob, he lost his balance and fell backwards. As he hit the ground, his head came off with a ear splitting screech. Before his circuits shut down, Sunny Blue Robot found some satisfaction in knowing that he landed on a cat and two innocent bystanders. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.

That and he found religion.

When three dogmatic artistic minds come together, the results could be disasterous. Or beautiful.
