Lighting balls! Special effects!
(Or FX if you love a bit of brevity
in your soul, AKA Billy Shakes).
Howling gales! Dark alleys, where
bins are toppled and vomit pools
from those who drank a little
too much that night,
(maybe a promotion or they met a soulmate?)
A robot! YES! A Robot appears
in the exact way a specific killing
robot from a cool film did,
but wait!
This is no machine designed for
extermination! No, but this
robot does have a singular purpose.
Taxes. This is an accountant
Robot! Dr. Calculator is his
nickname, given to him by the
pistons at the robot assembly
factory. His actual name is
443845-CNEE-VVC112-F396.
Dr. Calculator is looking to
work in a moderate sized company
called ‘ElectronicDreams’!
For they will create the ultimate
serving dish. A dessert so
delicious, that humanity will
expire in chase of that culinary
high. The world will be stripped,
and extinction the result.
Aside from a few plucky humans,
a tree and one dog.
Dr. Calculator must wrap them
up in constant taxation problems,
the red tape of government
must bleed them dry, or
there will be no future for
the world. But he will not
be created, so how did he
come back?!
A paradox to be sure,
but the best kind!
