    About this ebook

    Dwayne is a decent, polite man with a good sense of how he should treat people. That is, until he finds himself harboring violent feelings towards the morning bus driver. Soon he learns that the source of his anguish comes from the fact that the driver is not human at all, but an almost-but-not-quite lifelike robot built by a man who calls himself the Mad Scientist. Now Dwayne ponders the ethics of murdering the driver and other robots like it, and if, indeed, it is murder at all...

      As I drove slowly toward the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that h
