Shorts by M. R. Tevebaugh

A drained battery is death… …but power is tightly controlled. Will two androids find freedom? ~~~ Robin steps out into a field of moving mines, having scrimped enough energy to chart a path through them. Her sights are set on an old military truck, hoping to sneak an unregistered alternator back to the city. Even if Robin achieves her goal, hauling salvage could earn her a trip to the stockade, or worse, a full wipe. Can she scrounge enough power to succeed against the First Droid and his enforcers? ~~~ You'll love this science fiction novelette set in a dystopian android colony, because everyone loves to root for the underdroid. Get it now.
