Last time on: Short Stories and Poems Presents! A NEW FANTASY LOVE STORY. (Sub-title; The conversation!)

 George:  "We have two bedrooms, five guest rooms 3 full baths, and 1 half bath downstairs."  "Your bedroom is next to the bathroom in the upstairs hallway!"

Susie:  "Splendid!"  "I suppose there are more clothes in the closet for me to wear?"

George:  "Yes!"

Susie:  "I would like to pick out something that would be pleasing to you, for me to wear, any suggestions?"

George:  "No, my child!"  "Look through the wardrobe, and pick whatever you would like, for I trust your judgment!"  "Then come back down and sit with me in the living room."  "I would like to watch TV for a while before I retire for the evening."  "We can talk some too!"

She went upstairs and pick out the perfect outfit, and she looked lovely.  They watch television and talked about everything, and he enjoyed his new companion as if they have known each other for years.

TO BE CONTINUED


When she went to her room, she realized that she was actually tired, then she realized that her programming was designed to mimic human behavior almost perfectly.  The tiredness chip pomps her to lie down and recharge her power cells.  Her bed was also a wireless charger.  After charging her body will auto-shut down, and when the sun comes up, auto sensors will auto-restart her each day.  She awaken energized and refreshed, and ready for her day.  She read the information on the refrigerator and began to work!  As she worked, she couldn't stop wondering, if there was something else that should have been on the list.  She noticed some memory in her memory-data base, but she could not access it!  However, the file name haunted her: "Wifely duties"  She made a mental note to question him about it! After she finished working, she went to him.  She was nervous about it, but she got up her nerve, and asked him:

Susie:  "George!"  "I know just about everything you created me for, but there is this memory file I can not access, why?"

George:  "That is simple my sweet, you won't be able to access that file until you have a need for that function."  "If you check your memory banks, you will find that there are many function files you don't have access to yet."  "Which file has caught your attention?"

Susie:  "Wifely duties!"  She said with great excitement, and anticipation, thinking that he was going to allow her to access the file soon.  His response left her filling a bit empty.

George:  "Interesting!"  "Just why did that particular file catch your notice?"

Susie:  "The list of my duties on the fridge, do I need to explain more?"  "It seems like wifely duties should be on the list too!"

George:  "You are not a wife unit."  "You are not made for that purpose."  "Have no intentions to use you that way."  "When I am able to choose another wife, It will be with a woman."

Susie:  "Well just why did you make me look so good then?"  "Don't believe you did that for no reason?"

George:  "True!"  "However, how would you have felt if had not made you look very attractive at all."  "How would you be feeling at this moment?"  She paused for a moment, to reflect on those thoughts, and said with a big smile:

Susie:  "Perhaps you wanted to give me hope that someone would want me as a wife unit one day!"  "If not for you, then who?"  "Do you have a son?"

George:  "That is correct love, it was to make you feel desirable!"  "The choice will be up to you my dear!"  "As for your last question, heavens no, only a stepson who would jump at the chance to have a beauty such as you, however after you got a load of him, in a week's time, you would have choked the life out of him, and a dozen other women would give you a standing ovation!"  At those words, they were silent for a moment, and then they both laughed until they cried.  Then she said:

Susie:  "Understood sir!" She said, still amused by the thoughts."  "He is just that bad huh?"

George:  "Even worse!"  "Don't have no desire to expose you to people like him!"  "You are too special!"  "Would be much better to design another bot for you, than to corrupt your memory  banks with unscrupulous individuals."

Susie:  "Agreed!"  "However, it is my choice!"  "If the time comes, could I explore the possibilities with a human?"  "You are a good man, and I have grown very fond of you!"  "Perhaps, there could be another man I could love as much as I love and respect you."  "You are like my father to me, but if I can't have you, could I search, or hope for someone like you?"

George:  "Anything is possible!"  "Most of your work is done."  "What would you like to do next?"  "Any more questions about what we discussed?" 

Susie:  "This conversation was a bit exhausting, and I feel I need to recharge my power cells before I finish dinner!"  "Also yes, I have lots of questions!"  "We can talk more later!"

George:  "It would be my pleasure!"

Susie:  "Great, got to go crash!"  As she goes up the stairs, she notices another memory file was made available, as a result of her conversation with him. file name: "Dream mode." She accessed it with excitement and anticipation.

Short Stories and Poems Presents! A NEW FANTASY LOVE STORY. (SUBTITLE; A TRUE COMPANION!)

This is a story about a man that has gone through a bad marriage breakup but was not guilty of adultery, however, that is the story his evil stepchildren are sticking with, that he did, because they need to keep control of their mom's money, and they are going to prove it if they have to fake it!  So they cooked up a lot of lies so that he could not even visit her in the nursing home.   However, our story will not dwell on that much, but like Alfred Hitchcock, some issues might make a cameo appearance.  This story will focus on his recovery and re-establishing his love life.  However, being a brilliant inventor, and because he could not just up and marry someone else, even if his wife divorced him anyway, He would not be able to marry another, without committing adultery.  His religious beliefs would not allow him to do so.  Having such a creative mind, decided to create "A TRUE COMPANION", an A. I. bot of his own design.  One might be asking, how is that going to help?  Well, he only wanted a companion to help him through the lonely times, until he could legally find another mate, so sex was not part of the plan.  Meaning this bot would be different.  It would look and behave like a woman but not exactly anatomically correct.  In other words, she would not be able to perform that one particular wifely duty.  That spot had a state-of-the-art oscilloscope instead of the other thing all men know and love.  He simply needed a friend and a fishing companion, so he could become the best bass master in town.  At home, she had her own bedroom, and she cooked, cleaned, and did other household duties, but always knew that something was missing.  His name is Professor George Madman of the University of MIT and retired.  Partially based on a true story.  Names were changed to protect the innocent and the guilty!


George:  "At last, she is finished!."  "Also, she is some piece of work too!"  He took a deep breath as he activated her for the first time, and said: "Hear goes nothing!"  As power moved through her circuitry and components, she started to come to life, and as she opened her eyes and gazed at him, and gave him a beautiful smile, he said:  "Welcome to my world, my new friend!"

Susie:  "Happy birthday to me!"  "Is that correct?"  "All the time you were working on me, and programing me, I was conscious of what I was going to become and hoping I could please you well!"

George:  "You responded correctly."  "Don'd worry my friend, for you are my creation, and created from my heart, my brain-child."  "Absolutely no way you can disappoint me!"  "I have anticipated all possibilities, of which you will learn, as time passes"

Susue:  "Splendid!" She said as she sat up on the bed she was lying on.  "Oh! I'm not completely dressed!"  "Is there a reason why I'm not fully clothed?"

George:  "Yes, of course, I wish to check all your functions!"  "The rest of your clothing is on the bed beside you!"

Susie:  "Thank you!"  She said as she paused for a moment and said: "Turn your back now!"  "You have been peeking at me enough, and I won't have you watching me as I dress!"

George:  "Excellent!"  He said as he complied with her wishes. In a matter of moments, she was fully dressed and ready to get started with her existence.

Susie:  "Ready! ??"  "A'h I just realized, I'm not sure what to call you sir."  "I know your name is George, but you are like a father and a mother for you made me, but I am aware of your many titles."

George:  "George, would suffice!"

Susie:  "Great!"  "Well then, George, What shall I do first?"  "I'm ready to serve"

George:  "This being your first day alive, I wish for you to do as you please, and just celebrate being alive!"  "Tomorrow you just observe the instructions on the list on the fridge, then carry on from there!" "Come, and let me take you to meet some people?"

Susie:  "Okay!"  She responded as she took his arm and walked with him as if she has been doing it for years.  They walked all over the campus, meeting and greeting everyone until the professor was tired and ready to go home.  The ride home was quiet as she looked out the car window at everything that caught her eye, as excited as she could be. Finally, they arrive home.

George:  "This is our home!"

Susie:  "Wow! it's beautiful!"

George:  "We have two bedrooms, five guest rooms 3 full baths, and 1 half bath downstairs."  "Your bedroom is next to the bathroom in the upstairs hallway!"

Susie:  "Splendid!"  "I suppose there are more clothes in the closet for me to wear?"

George:  "Yes!"

Susie:  "I would like to pick out something that would be pleasing to you, for me to wear, any suggestions?"

George:  "No, my child!"  "Look through the wardrobe, and pick whatever you would like, for I trust your judgment!"  "Then come back down and sit with me in the living room."  "I would like to watch TV for a while before I retire for the evening."  "We can talk some too!"

Dr. Mannis:  "So sorry about my assistant."  "All his credentials checked out!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Unfortunately, no one is going to wear a tee-shirt that says, I want to travel time and steal stuff, and kill people."

Dr. Mannis:  "He Seamed so stable, and gifted in his field."  "Since Nephewtism is allowed, I will hire my daughter to assist me!"

Dr. Mannis:  "Very good my sweet!"

They work well into the night until they were mentally exhausted.   Finally, the Dr. said: "Let's call it a night and order takeout and have it delivered!?"

Victoria:  "I will get the drinks and paper plates, and set the table, I'm very hungry!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "It's good to see you again Victoria, and I missed seeing you every day!"  "Let me help you with those"

Victoria:  "Very good to see you again too Sargent!"

Fed. Agent 1: "Call me Haun if you like!?"

Last time on: Short Stories and Poems Presents! ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION(subtitle; Divorce court!)

 Suddenly, an atmospheric disturbance occurred in the room and two men appeared out of nowhere:

Agent 1: "Who are you and where did you just come from?"

Intruders:  "I'm Dr. Steven Strange, and this is the Socceror Supreme, and we have a few questions of our own!!"

TO BE CONTINUED:



Dr. Steven Strange and his colleague were at a loss for words when they arrived at the call center, for their mystical arts suddenly stopped working:  It is the nature of the A. I. software matrix that dampers or totally restricts any kind of witchcraft, magic, or sorcery activity as soon as it detects it.

Agent 1:  "How can I help you, Mr. Steven Strange?"

Dr. Strange:  "That is Dr. Steven Strange!"  "What is it you people do, How is this place possible?"  "Also, how have you stopped our mystic powers from working?"

Agent 1:  "Normally, I would be glad to help you with any inquiry, but you have made an unauthorized entry to our building, and the information you have requested is classified!"  "Only my supervisor can assist you further!"  "Supervisor!?"

Dr. Strange:  "Thank you!"

Supervisor:  "What is all the commotion about, and just what is the nature of your surprise visit?"

Dr. Strange:  "I and the sorcerer supreme were on a mission when suddenly we were brought here and were unable to continue on our journey!"  "Just What is this place, and what do you do here?"

Supervisor:  "This is a call center for the: ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, however, that's all I can legally tell you"  "However I do recognize you as Dr. Steven Strange of the Avengers, so you will have to be briefed in things by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. NICK FEARY!" unless he has been replaced by someone by now!

Dr. Strange:  "Delightful!"  "Well if you will kindly remove your dampening field or whatever it is, we will be on our way?"

Supervisor:  "Sorry, that is not necessary."  "Security is on the way to escort you out of the building, and here they are."  "Just follow these gentlemen, and as soon as you are out of the building your mystical arts should start working again. "  "Next time make an appoint and remember to use the door?"  "Have a nice day Dr. Strange!"  

Meanwhile, In divorce court:

Judge Mabline:  "Well, the next case on my docket outta be very interesting!"  Pastor David Armstrong is suing his wife of 30 years for divorce for Adultery, plus embezzlement of funds from the church, and for mental cruelty, because for years she and her 3 daughters have been secretly practicing witchcraft in a secret room in their home."  "Bailith, let's get this one out of the way fast"  "It's giving me the creeps already"

Bailith:  "All rise for the honorable Judge Mabline!?"  "You may be seated!"

Judge Mabline:  "May the defense call the first witness?"

Defense lawyer: "I call Mrs. Armstrong to the stan!"  After she came to the witness stand:

Bailith:  "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "I don't want to touch that book, but yes, I will, just hover my hand over it and say yes!"

Bailith:  "Be seated!"

Prosecutor:  "So how long have you been practicing witchcraft?"

Defense lawyer: Objection, relevance!

Judge Mabline:  "Sustained"  Please direct your line of questions on the subject of the divorce proceedings.

Prosecutor:  "How long have you been diverting funds from my client's church to another church in California?"

Mrs. Armstrong: "For 30 years!"

Prosecutor:  "And just what is the name of the church, you transferred the money to?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "The First Church of Satan!" She said with a wicked, evil grin!"

Prosecutor:  "One last question!"  "During this marriage, how long were you and your daughters participating in ritual orgies in the secret room in your home?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "For 20 years!"

Prosecutor:  "No further Questions!"

Judge Mabline:  "If there are no further questions from either side I'm ready to make a ruling on this case, for I have seen and heard quite enough!?"

Defense lawyer:  "No other witness to call, and no questions!"

Judge Mabline:  "It is the ruling of this court, that, based on the evidence presented in this case, I grant you your divorce and you also retain all properties, and all money embezzled from the church should be returned. "  "Also will the defendant rise for sentencing?"  She rises, with her still wicked grin.  "We are sentencing you to 50 years with possible parole in 30 or 40 years with good behavior, if that is possible, at the state mental institution of the criminally insane."  "Do you have anything to say further, and do you understand or agree with the nature of the sentence?"

Mrs. Armstrong:  "Yes!"  "Only that my punishment in some ways violates my constitutional rights, of freedom of religion!"

Judge Mabline:  "The statement is recorded and noted, however, my ruling is the finale, and this case is over, "  "Bailith take this woman into custody and take her away from me fast!"

Judge Mabline:  "There will be a recess until 2:30 pm before the next! case"  As the people file out of the courtroom, the authorities take his wife away!  David is calm and relieved that it is over, feeling good about his future.  When he arrives home, he is tired and exhausted from the day!  He decided to lie down and take a nap.  As he drifted off to sleep, meditating on the 23 Psalm, he started to dream. His thoughts were focused on reaching his lost members and helping them to return to the church and breaking them free from the power of the occult and being protected like he is now, and building up his flock again! Word!

Last time on: Short Stories and Poems Presents! ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION

 David: "Well, No Thanks! And God Bless You!"

Agent:  "Thank you, and God Bless you". "Thank you for being a client of  the ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, and have a nice day!"

After he got off the phone, he was so overjoyed he did not know what to do with himself, so he just sang praises to God, until he fell asleep.

TO BE CONTINUED

The next day, he had planned, in light of present events, to see a shrink in order to get his thoughts together!

Dr. Calmer:  "My name is Dr. John Clamer, and welcome to your first session with us"

David: "Thank you, sir!"  "Also, thanks for seeing me on such short notice."  "In view of recent events, I felt the need to get things together quickly!"

Dr. Calmer: "I saw the subject you wanted to talk to me about, and was a bit curious!"  "How much do you know about witchcraft and the supernatural?"

David:  "Not much doc, just what the Bible mentions about it."  "When I found out my wife and kids were witches, I was totally dumbfounded."  "I thought the Salem Witch hunters took care of all of that"  "Assumed the ones existing today, were quite harmless, really didn't know what they are messing with! "

Dr. Calmer: "Most of what you assumed is true, "but actually, it would be a mistake to assume that everyone that was burned as a witch during the Salem Witch-hunts, was really a witch, and most likely framed by real witches"

David:  "God is so very powerful!"  "Why does so much evil exist all around us, and in places where it should not be?"

Dr. Calmer:  "I have been an FBI agent for 50 years, and a Dr. of Psychology for longer, and still trying to figure that out?"  "My theory is that we can invite evil into our lives without knowing it."

David:  "What do you mean?"

Dr. Calmer:  "For instance, Do you cheat on your wife?"

David: "No, Never!?"  "What would that matter, and Why ask me that!?"

Dr. Calmer: "For now, let me ask the questions and just answer them truthfully?"

David:  "Okay, sorry Sir!"

Dr. Calmer:  "Good!"  "My next question is; have you ever been tempted to or thought about cheating on your wife?"

David: "Well, yes, but not sure I understand this line of questioning."

Dr. Calmer:  "In time you will understand!"  "One last question!"  "Have you ever fantasized about cheating on your wife?"

David:  "I think I'm starting to get the picture, and the answer is yes, with Jennifer Lopez, or Hallie Berry! or someone like that!"  "How many men have not?"  "Relevance?"

Dr. Calmer:  "Relevance!"  "Our hidden thoughts can betray us and compromise our safety"  "This is important when dealing with ones that like to dabble in the occult and witchcraft, binding ones with spells"  "My advice is to work on keeping your thoughts as pure as possible!"

David:  "Why is that, sir!?"

Dr. Calmer:  "Remember this!" "Whenever someone tries to put a spell on someone pure in heart, it will backfire, and whatever they are trying to do to someone else, it will happen to themselves!"

David:  "Really?"

Dr. Calmer: "It makes sense, and it is what some witches that I have had to question, seem to believe"

David:  "I will take your advice, sir!"  "Sounds reasonable to me too!"

Dr. Calmer:  "I believe our session is up, see you next time!"

Meanwhile back at the call center of the ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION.


Agent 1:  "Thank you for being a client of ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION. and have a nice day." As the customer hangs up, he turns to one of his co-workers and says:

Agent 1:  "This software is so cool"  "I like when we run the ITG for an unnatural occurring tornado, and at the end, a cartoon image of Superman flies onto the screen and turns the image of the tornado upside down, just like in the superman movie that had Richard Pryor in it1 and then it just goes away."

Agent 2:  "Fascinating, and I would like to progress to MI6 level, so I can learn how this software really works"

Agent 1:  "You mean like British intelligence, like James Bond?"

Agent 2:  "No, a much more special elite group of MI6, Syber-division With a Software development team!"  "A. I. technology!"

Agent 1:  "Wow!"

Suddenly, an atmospheric disturbance occurred in the room and two men appeared out of nowhere:

Agent 1: "Who are you and where did you just come from?"

Intruders:  "I'm Dr. Steven Strange, and this is the Socceror Supreme, and we have a few questions of our own!!"

LAST TIME ON: Short Stories and Poems Presents! "A PLACE IN TIME F0R A KILL"(SUBTITLE "TIME LINE CORRECTION!")

 Assistant:  "What the hell!"  He said as he observed war plans flying by with zwar-stickers on them.  in fact, ever where he looked, he saw Notzi troopers and zwar-stickers! Then the Feds caught up with him, as he was saying:

Assistant:  "Oops!"

Fed. Agent 1: "Oops!? Oops!?"  "You screw up this bad and that is all you got to say?" "Come with us idiot, and tell us everywhere you went and everything you did!?"

Notzi Troops:  "Hold it right there, and don't move!

TO BE CONTINUED!

After the fed agents caught up with the unauthorized time traveler! (UTT), They moved swiftly to correct the timeline event. (TE)  Because of the government funding, they were well equipt and well prepared!  The proper protocol for time travel is to be clocked while navigating a  time gravity well. (TGW)  A UTT would be unaware of such a protocol. In other words, the only one visible to the Nottzi Troops is the assistant.

Fed. Agent 1:  "Don't move and don't panic?"  "We are clocked, and now you are clocked too!"  "Let's go fool!"  "We need to interrogate you first, and we need your full cooperation to correct the timeline!"  He said as they ascended back into a new TGW.

Notzi Troops:  "What just happened?"  "Where did he go?"

Assistant:  "Yes sir, but what's going to happen to me!?"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Really!"  "You must have forgotten to read the fine print when you signed up for this job!?"  "Most likely you will be executed depending on what and how many violations!"  "Best case scenario, life in prison!"  The feds. worked swiftly and discovered that all he did was kill someone and steal some money, however, the changes in the timeline occurred, by some Notzi sympathizers that followed him, and took one of his devices while he was not paying attention.   After correcting all UTTs and TE's, they returned to the present:

Fed. Agent 1:  "Mission accomplished!"  Back at the lab!

Dr. Mannis:  "So sorry about my assistant."  "All his credentials checked out!"

Fed. Agent 1:  "Unfortunately, no one is going to wear a tee-shirt that says, I want to travel time and steal stuff, and kill people."

Short Stories and Poems Presents! ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION

 A Preacher is tired of losing members to the fascination with the occult tries to do something about it himself and finds himself over his head. even his wife and kids turned out to be witches! He was full of despair until he found this website.  www.awcaicwecarryoutthelawofmoses.gov . After he met them, things started to change!  Our story begins in his office as Bishop Willis visits him to discuss the goings on of his church, and why money is missing from the treasury.

Bishop Willis:  "David, my son, what is happening at this church?"  "You came highly recommended, graduated with honors in the top,  head of your class ".  "As Pastor of this church, you are responsible for all the goings on of your flock!"  "What do you have to say for yourself?"  Pastor David Armstrong was silent as tears welled up in his eyes and began to stream down his face.

David:  "Bishop!"  He said in tears and so distraught that no other words could be uttered!

Bishop Willis:  "Oh my son, what is it." "What has happened?"  "Is all the stories I have been told true?"  "Loss of members, money being stolen from the church, and your wife and your 3 daughters are involved in witchcraft?"`  He just shook his head as he continued to cry, and said:

David: "Yes!"

Bishop Willis:  "I'm afraid in light of these events, you are going to have to be removed as Pastor of this church, for you no longer meet the spiritual requirements of residing over his household in a fine way, and children under subjection! "  "I hope you understand?"

David: "I understand Sir!"

Bishop Willis:  "You are a fine young man my son, and when you came here, I had high hopes for you".  "Don't be discouraged for God does not let us be tried with what we can not bear"  "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger!"  "Please don't let this kill you!?"

David: "I will do my best sir!"  In his mind he started to resight the 23 Psalm:  Jehovah is my Shepherd.+

I will lack nothing.+

 In grassy pastures he makes me lie down;

He leads me to well-watered resting places.*+

 He refreshes me.*+

He leads me in the paths* of righteousness for the sake of his name.+

 Though I walk in the valley of deep shadow,+

I fear no harm,+

For you are with me;+

Your rod and your staff reassure me.*

 You prepare a table for me before my enemies.+

You refresh* my head with oil;+

My cup is well-filled.+

 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life,+

And I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for all my days.+

Later that day on the phone with his wife:

David:  "Listen you evil witch, you need to return the money!?"

Wife:  "No! , and you better not call the po po either, or I will cast a spell on you and even more terrible things will happen to you!"  "Ha!, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"  "Go bye preacher man!"  After she hung up he started searching the web until he found a site that caught his eye:www.awcaicwecarryoutthelawofmoses.gov.

The site offered help to those troubled by ones practicing witchcraft and voodoo and all kinds of sorceries. So he signed up.  The next day a tech team showed up to install some special upgrades to his home security and automation system and said, whenever there is a problem, just call our 1-800 number and our agents will do the rest!  Moments later, he heard a noise outside and he looked out the window and got a big surprise!  He quickly dialed the 1800 number and said:

David:  "Hello, There is a tornado coming towards my house and it does not look normal."  "An image of my wife's face is at the top of it!"  "What the hell?"

Agent:  "I will be so glad to help you with that sir, and in view of your emergency, I will expedite the troubleshooting!"  "David Armstrong, correct, and a new customer?"

David: "Yes!"

Agent:  "Thank you,  and running an ITG to troubleshoot your issue"   "Okay sir on my computer screen it says your issue is being resolved!  can you confirm that sir?"

David:  "Why, yes it just turned itself upside down and vanished!" "How did you do that?" 

Agent:  "Sorry sir, this is a government agency and that is classified." "Is there anything else I can help you with"

David: "Well, No Thanks! And God Bless You!"

Agent:  "Thank you, and God Bless you". "Thank you for being a client of  the ANTI-WITCH-CRAFT ASSOCIATION ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION, and have a nice day!"

After he got off the phone, he was so overjoyed he did not know what to do with himself, so he just sang praises to God, until he fell asleep.
