Gaston’s rarely romanced his wife. Evangeline begged for more loving each night. Gaston always said, “I’ll be right back,” before visiting his mistress for hours.
Evangeline began visiting the android, LVR-223 at Chateau de Sable. Its software made it the finest lover in the world. So while Evangeline waited outside for her turn to “relieve tensions,” a jealous Gaston charged into LVR-223’s bedroom to smash it. Moments later, the very combat-capable android heaved Gaston out the window.
As he lay bleeding on the stones before Evangeline, Gaston begged for her assistance.
Evangeline winked before entering the bedroom, saying, “I’ll be right back.”

Doesn’t sound like Gaston has much right to be jealous! Love a sweet “get what you gave” revenge story.

Hehe. Nope. Besides she wasn’t with a “man.” 😉 I haven’t done “revenge fiction” in a bit. I guess I was due for one. Thanks Joy! 🙂

Gaston found out he’s no match against an android! Serves him right! I guess Evangeline showed him she could play the same game as he does.

Yep. The android just switched his “love chip” for his “fight chip” and Gaston had no chance. In the end, what’s good for the Gander is good for the Goose! 😀 Thanks so much. 🙂

This is great. Very clever turn around for Evangeline. I love the pace in this and the rhythm of the language. ‘..waiting for her turn to relieve tensions …’!! Very good.

Hehe. She just couldn’t resist throwing his words back at him (I couldn’t resist either). Glad the pacing worked for you. Thanks so much. I appreciate that. 🙂

Dear Eric,
No sympathy for Gaston here. I love the last line. Poetic justice.

Yep. It’s The Scarlett Pimper-droid. Gaston really deserved that. And properly so, the worst of his injuries came from Evangeline. Thanks much, Lillian. 🙂

Doubt it. With no emotional connection, it’s impossible for an android to be a truly great “lover.” Men, even with all our flaws, will still be better lovers of women. 😉 Glad you you laughed. Thanks kindly! 🙂

Hah, this was fun. And about the androids–who says that they don’t have feelings? Will have. Might have. 🙂 Just wait until they write love poems…

That’s right. Maybe the android didn’t like Gaston all up in his face. And love poems from an android. Hmm. I hope they are better than Data’s poems. 😉 Thanks so much! 🙂

It could be the villagers will gather together and storm the villa a la Dracula. “This unholy beast must go,” they’ll yell as they lift their torches into the air. You’ve taken this story from the turn-of-the-century into sci-fi, Eric. Well done. 😀 — Suzanne
