The zombie apocalypse came and humans retaliated with AI robots. Consuela, the daughter of a robot scientist, is hidden on an island with a Warbot to protect her. The Warbot, which she mispronounces and calls Rabbit, sets out to protect her from everything up to and including herself. And so she proceeds to live a Rapunzel life, locked away in a lighthouse tower with no word from the outside. Until one day, she sees other humans.

I didn't really like this much. The lack of emotion from Rabbit might have made him a realistic robot but it made it kind of a boring story. I'm also not sure I really understood what happened at the end. Was she raped? I thought she was, but then she said to shoot him [Rabbit] so...? Overall it was alright, about what you expect from a short story. 2 stars.
