The short history of Dudley B Metal...
Shortly after returning to writing after an accidental break of three or four years, and returning to writing short stories after an intended break of about seven years, I wrote a story about a lonely robot's encounter with an unhinged serial killer--aren't all serial killers unhinged?--who had set up shop at the edge of a desert.
Bob's Spares & Repairs was originally published in the Help anthology way back in early 2008, and the manic bot's establishment now reappears in reprint form in Twisted Tongue Magazine. You can download a copy of the magazine for free.

That piece was a hoot, Cate. Good fun, 'bots and all.
Twisted Tongue will always have a special place in my heart (well, that sounds icky). Anyway, they accepted one of my earlier pieces, giving me a boost when I needed it.
Congrats. I'll check it out. :-)
Downloading this very minute...
Pretty cool story. I liked it.
I have that book! Talk about convenient : )
Thanks, guys.
I remember Bob's Spares & Repairs from, oh, a workshop way back somewhere in the mists of time... I have lived too long. Good one Cate!
I love your characters.
Me too, Ian.
:D Danielle
