He didn’t know if him and Robo would’ve gotten as close as they did as fast as they did if Lyssa and Clem didn’t go off on their own so often.

If Lyssa and Clem didn’t let the two of them go off on their own so often.

Sneaking out together wasn’t something they did all the time, but it also wasn’t something new for them. They’d been paired together as road roommates ever since their first year in the minors together in Cedar Park. Jake was almost positive their first after-hours excursion had come a couple months into that season, once the sheen of pro hockey wore off. They both loved hockey and had, at the time, wanted desperately to play their way up to Dallas, but there was something to be said for the healing power of sneaking off sometimes.

Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.

"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.

Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.

"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."

Nolan used to work as a promotional contractor for a snowmobile company, one of the big ones. He’d spend all winter taking executives and investors out on three-day snowmobile trips in Colorado and Utah and BC, and then all summer at home with his mom watching Deadliest Catch and Treehouse Masters. Sometimes they ate weed gummies and Nolan gave his opinion on Pinterest boards.
