Frank was not happy about the new policy. He understood that he wouldn’t be able to refuse i’s decommissioning, as he’d never paid for him in the first place, but there was something about it that irked him. He liked i. He didn’t like the waste of a good robot. It was strangely comforting to have a human figure who walked beside him day after day, and there was nobody else who would put up with Franks ramblings about life and the universe. He realised that it was probably programming, but he appreciated the way the robot would tilt it’s head to listen when he went on these rambles.

Bowie is a remarkably uncommon lobster that is half blue and half orange, half male and half female.
Bowie may be the rarest lobster in the world if not the North Atlantic. This unique specimen is divided exactly in half, with a typical orange color on the right side and a vivid blue color on the left. Furthermore, it is a prime example of a bilateral gynandromorph, with a perfect midline split that makes it half-male and half-female.

A Date with My Old Self
As the year drew to a close, a peculiar sensation enveloped me, a strange mix of anticipation and apprehension. The impending New Year held the promise of new beginnings, fresh starts, and uncharted territories, but it also stirred within me a yearning for the past, for the person I once was, for the dreams I once held so dear.
