I dont care for violent scenes (books, TV, movies.) When she programmed the robot, I just knew something would go wrong. She's human, he's a robot. And it happened. I was grossed out but I felt for the humans. The ending was exceptional for all involved - even the robot. I was FASCINATED with the story. Yes, I read it 3 times! I deleted the story from my reader because it was a bit violent for my taste. Even now, months later, I still remember the story! Now THAT tells you how good a story this is!

I agree, it is a strong and very interesting modern take on Frankenstein; it's also very surprising. I actually cried when I got to the end of the story.

A strong and interesting modern take on Frankenstein. If the description sounds interesting, I think you'll like this short story a lot.
A dinged it one star for not knowing when to stop. The denouement stretches into an epilogue that lets much of the power of the story drain away.
