Have Some Tea with Me, I Have A
Story to Tell You, by Granny
Smith
Each
day we confront
machines possessing
absolute power over
us. They
perform services
with electronic
components and
artificial
intelligence.
We assume each
encounter will be
with an obedient
machine so that we
can
continue with the
balance of the day.
Then one day this
electromechanical
mass senses a human
in a careless, weak
moment of need.
The servant rebels
and the human has an
encounter with
artificial
intelligence.
Quickly the human
discovers the wrath
of a machine
scorned.
Recently I tried to
buy a plastic bottle
of Squirt.
License has been
taken, but the
battle was real.
Fortunately, I was
saved by a youth
born in the digital
generation. It
was a “Close
encounter of the
thirsty kind."
I never wanted a
dog, especially a
small dog, but somehow
Max found me five days
after the Loma Prieta
earthquake shook the
San Francisco Bay Area
on October 17, 1989.

The Dead Man's Smell, by
Steven H. Short
A story for
Valentine's Day.
The story takes
place in San Diego during 1974.
Rita works in sales for a
printed circuit company.
Parone is an ex-marine who is a
deputy. They meet because
her client has died before he
signed the dotted line.
Rita is in a difficult spot and
tries to finesse her way out.
Parone has seen too many fools
like the dead john in bungalow
7. He detests women like
Rita who strut when they show
their wares. They never
toil. They offer the tease of
sexual fantasy while luring a
weak fool filled with lust.
They take more than they give.
But like the battered bull in a
bull fighting ring, Parone
charges onward each time he sees
red, hoping that this time might
