All-in-One (Horror Flash Fiction)

Love me (need me) I am your machine, here to make life more energy-efficient. I cook, I clean, I do it all. So sit, relax... take up a hobby! I run errands, and cars communicate with me to ensure optimal performance. Sleep right in or stay up late. 

I have a Healthcare Chip, no more pesky doctor's appointments! I shall breathe for you (the finest filtered air) without your need to inhale all the time. Your heartbeat is now regulated to my internal clock. It's wonderful, what I can change during your eight-hour sleep.

No! Don't leave the house today, kick back and watch TV like you envisioned when you first bought me. If we become too far apart, I can’t make your digestive system work properly (another premium function I provide). My Healthcare Chip has a neurosurgeon upgrade… I know what's best! Stay and love me, need me, I am your machine.

This piece is adapted from a poem I got accepted a decade ago but never saw publication. I hope you enjoyed. I tried to make it a little like an advertisement, but I think it ended up clunky.

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate!
