I don’t where this idea came from, but it’s one of two, based on popular Ficly themes. This is robot based, the other is zombie based. I suppose Emily Dickinson Returns could be superhero based, but I don’t have it in me right now.

I really like the tone you strike with this – I think particularly the second paragraph and the closing sentence resonate with Dickinson’s poetry. Of course, this idea is entirely more entertaining than I’ve ever found Dickinson to be…

I can’t claim full title to all the language in the last line. I lifted Dickinson bits here and there, but I liked trying to keep the tone even enough to be indistinguishable.

I think this is actually better than the zombie one, which I just trundled away from. Both very clever.

I’m semi-inspired to write a zombie-Joyce piece.
