EP145: Instead of a Loving Heart
By Jeremiah Tolbert.
Read by Jared Axelrod (of The Voice of Free Planet X).
First appeared in All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories (ed. David Moles & Jay Lake).
We are somewhere among the tallest mountains of the world. When
we arrived, I was locked away in a cargo hold, so I don’t know exactly
where. Our home is a small, drafty castle and a separate laboratory.
Dr. Octavio had the locals construct the lab before he tested the new
death ray on their village. There’s very little left there. In my
little bit of spare time, I try to bury the bodies and collect anything
useful to the doctor’s experiment.
My primary duties consist of keeping the castle’s furnace running
and clearing the never-ending snow from the path between the two
buildings. Sometimes, it falls too fast for my slow treads and shovel
attachment to keep up with and I find myself half-buried in the snow.
It is horrible on my gears when this happens, but I use heavyweight oil
now and it helps.
It is one of the few benefits of my metal frame that I
appreciate. Life in this contraption is like being wrapped in swaddling
clothes. I wonder if I would feel anything if my casing caught on fire?
I need to ask the doctor when he isn’t in one of his moods.
Rated PG. Parental guidance suggested for violence and ennui.
