A Contradiction of Life - Part 4.5

Alyssa quietly stared out the window as they drove home.

“Um,” David asked, “what was that about?”

“Me asking someone to kill themselves?” Alyssa asked, “Its standard procedure… they want to know if they will… It was… necessary.”

David was silent. He didn’t know what to say.

“I’ve often wondered,” Alyssa said sadly, staring at her hand, “if I’d do it. If I’d destroy myself because someone asked me nicely… I don’t want to die.”

“I’m…I’m sure you wouldn’t.” David said, trying to comfort her.

There was a moment of silence. Alyssa’s expression worsened.

“Yeah…” She said, “I kinda think that to.”

I have to say that this is a much better place to leave the chapter, at least as far as my heart is concerned. There's no way I could have withstood the wait between segments, and I'm still not sure that I'm patient enough to wait for the next one. I have some theories about what we just witnessed and what direction the story is headed, but I'll keep them close to the vest. The story feels like we're going very quickly, like we've reached the beginning of a revelation even before we could get to know these folks in any real way, but I guess that's the mark of an engaging read. Don't stop now! It's only getting better.

Nice way to end with a hook like that!

This has me really wondering what will be next. Thanks for the story, and second thanks for taking it a new direction!

I love this story so much that if the pain in my back wasn't so intense I'd find words to describe it! Please keep writing this, and, believe it or not, each story completed on this board of or near this caliber brings me one step closer to finally writing my own stories again. I gotta get rid of this writers' block. Thank you for providing a wonderful story and giving a little fembot a *lot* to think about.

Thanks.

I fully intend on finishing it, but it might take awhile.
