Argus 14 had been wandering the exposition halls for quite a while. Gradually it dawned on it that people were staring.
At first it thought it was because they had not seen a self-aware mobile intelligent anthropomorphic machine before. Then it saw some other SAMIAMs staring at it.
Eventually it realized why.
It had forgotten to put on its epidermal covering! It was naked! In public!
Then it woke up in its recharging pod. That had been an odd experience. Still, the great exposition started today. It got up.
The cast and crew of the Mastodon's writing hashtags I follow and play in. Your questions, answers, and micro-stories have helped me more than you can imagine. Thank you…=)
More than acknowledge them, I'd tell some people that don't believe I can write to go you-know-where, to do you-know-what themselves. In a friendly way, of course…=)
