It's a nice and simple story, Shirsha. 😊 Now that I've read some of your writings, I felt this has your signature simplicity in it.

As a reader, I do suggest you add a bit more background to Linda and Cynthia's friendship. Although I think you wished to keep it short and within 500 words and therefore, you probably didn't add more details. But I think if you're planning to expand this, you could emphasise more on Cynthia's dejection and make it more immersive. I mean there's just one dialogue that tells you that she feels low and insulted amongst humans. You could show and give her an inner monologue perhaps to elaborate her sadness. You could also give us a reason: an anecdote, any strict futuristic laws, etc. to make her sadness more convincing.

Finally, subtly infusing Cynthia's robotic nature through her unique perceptions or interactions could add another layer to her character. You know, that would create more effect that even if she has robotic mannerisms, she is able to feel as deeply as humans. That would make the story more impactful.

But these are just my personal suggestions! 😊 I loved reading another one of your stories! smiley27

Thanks for your feedback! No, I'm not planning to expand this story. I was only practising Bengali story writing.

I don't know how to write sarcastic comments. smiley37 It's a unique form of humour and only some people possess this skill. I was being serious only. smiley37

Your idea of futuristic laws is interesting. Actually, I wanted to emphasize on the fact that humans look down upon robots because they can't procreate. I wanted to show how procreation is very important to human beings and they consider them less valuable who are incapable of that. You're right about Cynthia's monologue. I couldn't add a lot of details due to word limit. Also, I never wrote a science fiction story before. Science fiction writing was completely unfamiliar to me. That's why there're many areas for improvement in the story. As far as robotic mannerisms are concerned, I wanted to show robots don't have their typical robotic mannerisms in 3075. They're very similar to humans in that futuristic world.

So true. As someone who actively engages in sarcasm, this compliment felt so much like a deadpan roast smiley37
