Um… Should have used Linux?

There seemed a few too many cliche lines… But sometimes that can be a good thing. I thought it was pretty good.

Yeah, it’s supposed to be pretty light-hearted. The cliche lines add to the overall direction I’m trying to head for, which is that the story is sort of like one big campy joke. But it’s cyberpunk, and it can be interpreted as a comedic viewpoint into an otherwise dire situation.

Also, Microsoft would make one hell of a BlueScreenBot. ;)

There is a stroke of brilliance lying hidden within this story, one that needs to be pulled out of this context and developed into a rich painting of its own. I’m talking, of course, about… CYBERPUNK VS. ZOMBIES!

@Clotifoth, sorry it took me so long to read this i dont know how i missed it.
Welcome to ficly we are glad to have you.

Look in my living will i have stipulation that i be buried in a tux with chuck taylors. The reason behind it that if i come back as a zombie, ill be dressed good and be able to run down brains with my chucks on.

I didn’t find it lighthearted, i guess because the robot is kinda like “oh well my organic parts are fleeting anyway, ho hum” and the nuclear fallout is nothing to laugh at.. but I sense you were going for dry wit, satire of a true cyberpunk. Which would be funny, if he wasn’t dying..

@ElshaHawk Meh, perhaps. It may take a short bit of time to really get the ol’ creative engine going at full capacity once more; I mean, before this week, the last time I found time to write for ficlets was on the old site, and even one and a half years before it closed.

But thanks for reading and commenting. :)

You know its ironic that when you read this, the little ar that tell you the site you’re on reads: Copyrighted on Ficly,
because aren’t all our stories under the Creative Commons liscense?
lol

Look forward to reading more from you clotifoth

@StudMuffin Hah, you’re right. I really wrote this being pissed at AOL’s copyrighting of ficlets’ previous domain and code. I generally choose a title before writing the story in a few cases; it helps me define what exactly I want to accomplish in a given story.
