Cleaning Day: a Six-Sentence Story

Published by

Larry was at Williams-Sonoma looking for a replacement for their broken vacuum when he saw a representative from DREAME give a full-functioning demonstration to a group of well-heeled shoppers.

“The thing is a mop, too, and even has a self-emptying dock, and it responded to voice commands,” Larry texted Lara, who was at home mopping the kitchen floor.

Lara texted back, “Just get the vacuum we agreed on–like the one that just broke.”

Larry could read Lara’s frustration through the text. Larry guessed that she was on her hands and knees, scrubbing the kitchen floor, and didn’t want to deal with Larry’s blind faith in labor-saving technology.

“Okay, but when a full-size, walking android comes on the market, we’re getting one, then it will be able to dust as well!”
