If you enjoy absurd fiction with memorable characters, you will like the title story. It's about a kid trying to replace his dad with a robot. Lots of these stories feature dads. There's some psychology there. Anyway, fun stories, cool art by @jartravian.bsky.social. Check it out!

If anyone is curious, I submitted to ROH Publishing and got some really insightful, useful feedback on my story. I will revise with their suggestions in mind. Too bad they didn't recognize my genius and all, but they are apparently cool, genuine people.
