Made To Order



My name finally came up on the list.

They took over a million measurements, and then the large box opened to reveal a quiet ‘girl’ who ‘would share your life perfectly’.

A couple years later when I brought her back, I just walked in. I explained it just wasn’t fun anymore. “Ah, you want the yin-yang model then.” He strapped us in and then she became an obnoxious “woman” who was ‘my exact opposite’.

A couple years later and the lab was deserted. I tried to remember the controls. The woman who emerged was a total mystery to me.

Thankfully.
