The car crash
by Mirage

"Mr Henry Ashton?" the police officer asked my name, standing in my front door. I nodded a nervous yes, as a deep dread came inside me. "I am sorry to inform that your wife was in a terrible car accident.. a drunk driver crashed head on into her car.. he was killed instanlty..." he explained, as all I could
do is listen until he finished his reason of being here, at 2:00am, raining hard, in the middle of the night. "And we tried out best, sadly, this is all we could
find of the remains of your wife from the scene of the accident.. I hope she can be repaired, I am truly sorry." he finished his sentences, giving me a box.
Still in a cloud of confusion, I thanked him, closed the door and sat down, still holding the big box. Putting the box on the hard wood floor, I slowly
openned the box and studied it's content. The first thing I saw was one of Lara's leg, ripped out from the thigh, cables and wires coming out from the exposed
innerts showing from her leg. "Lara was a robot?" I mumbled out, as I reached inside the box and pulled out her decapitated head, wires and circuits dangling from her neck.

"Tom? This is Henry... I need to talk to you... Sorry to call you in the middle of the night, but.. but Lara was in a car accident.. No.. No. she was not killed..
but.. she is not alive too.. what do I mean?... Lara.. Lara is..was.. is a freaking robot! I was married to a robot! for 3 years! Can you fucking believe it??
A FUCKING ROBOT! AN ANDROID! No fucking way! No wonder she didn't want kids! Beep!Beep! I am a freaking robot!" I yelled into the phone, still in shock.
"She's broken into a fucking million pieces in a box right now.. ya.. they put what they found from the crash.. she flew right into the dash board, throught the windsheild, smashed smashed into thousands of pieces, when she hit the other car direclty. Ya, the drunk driver that crashed into her died.. Thank God, asshole. I would have killed him myself. Ya.. Thanks.. I know... well, that's what I am hoping, since you know robot shit and stuff like that.. Ya.. Thank you so much... see you tomorrow.. Night, Tom.." I said, hanging up the phone. I took a deep breath and studied Lara's head. I open her eyes with my left index finger. Tears came down my own eyes.

"Fuck.. did you know you were a robot?" I asked her. Of course, she didn't replied, as she is only a broken head. I put the head down and put the content of the boxe on the kitchen table. The top of her thorax, with her left arm still attached, ripped into 2 peices, her pelvis was ripped apart, but still attached by cables and wires.At her pelvis, both legs had been ripped apart, wires and cables coming out from where the legs should be attached. Her right shoulder was also just showing the same, wires and cables were her right arm should be. Her neck was the very same. I studied the cables and somehow manage to reattached her head back, but the connections for the neck were broken, so, her head lied beside her thorax, like a broken doll head. I slowly removed what clothing she still had. I was surprised to see little damage to her body, apart from a huge gash on her head, broken circuits showing from the inside of her head. Studying Her naked breasts and open broken body, I sat down and connected my computer to what I think was her CPU, sitting in her open belly. Lights came on, as I powered her CPU with my computer.

I was shock when I suddenly heard her say my name, after the CPU booted in my computer "HHH..ENNRRYYY..Y.." came out from her lips. Her fingers twiched a bit, as she became somewhat operational. "Henrryyy.. Why can't I move.. What is wrond withtggg,... neemmmee.." she slurded her words, beeps and pops with her speech, showing the damage of her CPU also. "Lara.. you were in a car accident and you were badly damaged.." I told her. She rolled her eyes, trying to see me "FDDDDammmaggedd..?? I ddoonn''t unnnderstannd." "You are a robot.. and I will get you repaired." I told her, tears coming out my eyes. "A..A.roobot?" she said, almost smiling at the same time. "Yes.. did you know you were a robot?" I then ask her. She rolled her eyes, trying to avoid me "Nnnooo.. I ammm soo sorryy..t.I.Dinnd't know..II.. woulllddmnn't haveve.. lett you mmarry mee if I knuww.. I..am sorryy.." she said, tears somehow still manage to flow from her eyes. "No! No! I still would marry you! I love you, Lara!" I told has I craddled her head and kissed her on the lips.
