Systems to be Down
Two machines on a developed moon contemplate cutting off from the world.
In the morning dew, the smell of rosewater drifted on the breeze. Kotus-19 could not only decipher the smell, but could deliver information on the chemical makeup of the fragrance.
He met up with Jascynthia-50 and they basked in the sunshine. Made of all gold to protect them from the solar rays on the moon, they used their limbs to interact with each other.
“I want to cut off my systems,” Jascynthia announced.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“You’re too precious.”
“To whom? The humans? They’re the only reason we’re here but it’s not them.”
What?”
“I’m electronically pregnant.”
“Now, I see.”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her aunt and uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties passed through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.
