Description

Joe Mulloy is a man whose confidence is as polished as the mirrors that line his opulent office. From childhood his signature sneer has dictated every interaction, turning contempt into a personal brand that both alienates and intrigues those around him. Now, as a self‑taught genius in positronics, he builds robots that obey his every command with unsettling devotion, yet he finds the flawless compliance almost unbearable.

The story follows Mulloy's relentless pursuit of a worthy adversary—someone whose mind can match his own razor‑sharp edge. His latest creation, a eerily human‑like automaton, arrives ready to serve, but the very obedience it offers fuels Mulloy's growing frustration. As he navigates the fine line between creator and master, the narrative explores themes of hubris, isolation, and the yearning for a true intellectual sparring partner.
