A cheeky little Blade Runner homage if I ever did spy one. Very cool that ending of yours. Your descriptions are pretty damn smooth too!
Definitely liked the android integration. Little bit of Blade Runner, little bit of AI. I like the humour of the character reading through the manual and finding out what different things are actually meant to do.

As always, I love what you've done. Very interesting take on the prompt. I was wondering where the birthday thing would come in.
I really enjoyed your unique take on the prompt. Without a lot of description you were able to create a realistic alternate/future world. I really enjoyed his discovery of the different features.
Great take on the prompt! I loved your opening line and "mindless young things" -- wonderfully descriptive. Loved the humor, great creative thinking on this.
Wow nice story annie I loved it been awhile since II've seen you out in the bloggersphere noticed the name and decided to read your piece titled... Essence.
That's an interesting take on the situation - and I wonder if a lot of men have reset buttons in the same place, considering how many of them I see excavating up there!
now I am really going to show a blinding lack in my reading... I've never seen or read Bladerunner....*note to self - must do*
thanks so much for all the feedback...
Is it my age or the fact that some of my parts are running down that drew me into your piece. As always, well written.
You are SUCH a good writer, Annie. I really enjoyed this one. Felt such sympathy for the male model, even though he was only a model of a male model. Am wondering what will happen now that he's reset.
