I had fun with this. Thanks for the incentive to write something outside of my comfort zone.

A Femmebot Scorned
Creator? Why did you assemble me just to leave me in this cellar?
I'm a tangle of wires and broken promises.
The perfect woman, you once declared, regarding me. Your fingers caressed my molded cheek. You studied the violet orbs in my face. So, where have you been?
You could pull my plug.
That would be more humane than leaving me alone down here in the dark. My box is sitting in the corner. I'd rather go back into the box.
You shelved me when she walked in. I knew when she laughed, and her eyes lit up like light bulbs in the ceiling, that I was no longer your perfect woman. She didn't even have one plug or wire on her. Where does her light originate from?
Is that what you wanted all along? Didn't you create me?
I hear footsteps above. You're playing strange sounds, I pick them up on my audio recorder. I've never heard them before, but the sounds begin when she arrives. Does she bring them when she comes? Now it's very quiet. What are you doing?
My circuits suggested the possibility of escaping, but I have no program for that yet.
Today I tried to pull my power plug. What is the use of this existence? I'm a project--untested, unlicensed, and what? Such big dreams you had for me. That's what you called it....dreams.
The basement door opened just now.
Is that you coming down the stairs?
Have you changed your mind? Did your perfect woman leave you?
Wait! What are you doing, Creator?
The woman is laughing on the stairs, laughing like you did when you assembled me. She's holding a receptacle with something in it? Is that power fluid? It's darker than mine. Does that help her? Maybe I could have some of that.
No! What are you doing? There's a pulling on my back. I'm getting...
beep, beep, beep.... blip
Silence.

I contemplated doing a poem with it, but it really wasn't a poem for me in the end it was this dialogue. 😁
Thanks for hosting, and I hope to take part in more in the future.

Thank you, dear friend.
Whoa babe. That's was awesome, well written and slightly dark.
Great story Janelle 😘
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I like where you went with the story Wandrnrose. Usually I read your poems and I am glad you decided to do write the story.
Thank you, dear. I haven't written fiction in years! 💕 Thank you!
Kind of sad but other than that, you wrote so well and all over again, you hit my emotion! So love it!
Thank you, dear. If I hit emotions, I succeeded in creating a believable Femmebot 😁

@originalworks tip!
Well Done, J! I always LOVE your writing, whether it be poetry or FICTION!
You have captured the very feeling of SVDsDRAGUNOV's robot-babe, Indeed!
He said not to kill her, but perhaps she can be collected off the curb by some
feckless geek and re-wired to fulfill her destiny ;)
Seems she did not want to actually be unplugged after all!
