I loved her so much...

She was so beautiful. When I saw her, I knew she didn't want to see me. She turned away. She almost started to run, but I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her towards me. I could see tears in her eyes as she pushed against me. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't bring myself to mar her beautiful lips with my touch. She would never know how much I loved her. I just pulled her into my embrace.

I still remember at 0.3470 seconds after bringing my arms around her frail frame thinking that, when you're a machine designed to bring about the destruction of humanity, it's hard to defy your programming. Then I crushed her spine. If I had tear ducts, I would have wept for exactly 2.1856 seconds.

Then I would chase after her friend.

Her friend was so beautiful.

Ahh, that was so beautiful Doug, at first I was thinking you were writing about your wife, then a video game, correct? It made me laugh and a much needed laugh at that.

SSC: Sorry, but it's not a video game, and not my wife (I've never wanted to crush her spine!)

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but this came from me. If it's been influenced by anything, then it's subconscious and, therefore, I'm not aware of it. Only after I wrote it was I reminded of the video for When Robots Attack.

I'm happy that you laughed!

If you love someone, set them free, OR crush their spine...they both work... ;)

HDD: If there is spine crushing, then they definitely never leave you, so you don't have to worry about whether or not they'll come back! Hoorays!

“She was so beautiful. When I saw her, I knew she didn't want to see me. She turned away. She almost started to run, but I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her towards me.”

That was what I meant when I said you were talking about your wife, then after reading I realized it couldn’t be. Okay, I want more funny posts, keep writing.

SSC: Actually, now that I think about it, that was pretty much how she reacted when she first saw me. When I finally caught up to her, she slapped me ... repeatedly. Then she apologized when she realized that I wasn't a threat to her at all and I just really look funny.

I'm kidding! I'll work on bringing more of teh funnay.

Ironically, that's exactly how SSC and I met! Erm...the first paragraph, I mean.

Very funny. And I enjoyed When Robots Attack, too.

Joe: I thought that guy in that YouTube video looked like you! I could see the spine crushing desire in his eyes ...

Ultra: Thank you! When I design the female version of the aforementioned killer robot, I'll make sure that she spares your skeletal structure!

So long as I can have my wicked way with her first, she can do what the hell she likes.

Ack!
