Posthuman Cleanup
“Hello?, Is this the used body pickup service?”
“I’d like to schedule a pickup.”
“uh-huh, My name is Kat, and I live at 555 North Terrace.”
“Yea, that’s over on the west side.”
“It’s an organic body.”
“Yes it’s my own.”
“It’s been discarded for about three days.”
“Oh really? I didn’t know I should have called that soon.”
“Well, it is still operating.”
“I just couldn’t bring myself to terminate it.”
“Yea, I’ve kept it fed like normal and everything.”
“Well, I have it restrained so it can’t damage itself.”
“Tomorrow at 4:00? I don’t know if I’ll quite be home by then, is 4:15 ok?”
“Great, see you then.”
Kat watched with horror as the robot hung up the phone.
