Perfect Companion
by John McGreeveyThe thing was not large. About the size of a large dog. It lay on its metallic side on the operating table, and it was alive. In its own way, it lived ... because Craig Stevens had given it life.Now, Craig stroked that metallic surface and smiled. "Very well, Sheila," he said pleasantly. "Get out. Get out and never come back. I'm not keeping you." ..
The Fall of Archy House
by Tom W. HarrisFor the first time in his life he felt desperate.
