Encounter

Feeling adventurous I opt for the encounter scenario option.

“Thank you. You will receive an email in the next three to four business days regarding when to expect your roboslut.”

“Well that’s convent”, I think, “Seeing as it’s Monday that means my robo Kim should arrive just in time for the weekend.” Once my order is placed I set about getting myself prepared. I spend the next couple of days cleaning up the place and put in for a weeks worth of vacation time at work which I easily get, being the boss does have some perks after all.

Thursday night arrives and I must check my email 20 times before giving up and calling it a night. By lunch time on Friday I’m beginning to get annoyed as I check my email only to see I haven’t heard anything yet. Finally when I get home I decide to check one more time before calling to place a complaint, when I see the message I’ve been waiting for.

“Dear Mr. Doe, please click the link below to confirm your order and receive instructions on where to meet your robo Kim.”

I eagerly click the link only to have my computer screen suddenly flash a bright green before I’m greeted with the familiar blue screen of ****. “NO!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!” In my frustration I bang on my keyboard desperately willing my computer to work.

“Shit what am I gonna do now?” I think as I flop down on the couch then I spot a piece of junk mail that I had grabbed with the rest of the mail. “Robo Sol: rapid response computer solutions”, the flier reads. “What the hell worth a try”, I mutter.

After a quick call describing my problem the dispatcher assures me they can help and that I should expect a tech in the next half hour or so.

Seeing as I can’t do anything till then I head upstairs and change into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, grab a beer, flip on the tube and wait. Then right on time I hear the door bell ring.

“Fuck at least their prompt” I think, letting myself hope that they can get me up and running so I can find my Kim. I’ve been wondering if she was wandering around out there looking for me, would she return to the company if I didn’t show up? Maybe while the tech was working on my computer I should give the company a call and let them know I’m having computer problems.

When I open the door I nearly do a spit take. Standing there is my robo Kim, beaming a winning smile at me.

“Hi Mr. Doe I’m Kim from Robo Sol.” She says extending her hand.
