There were worse things you could say about a robot. But he couldn't think of any that nanosecond.

City Walking The Seven Seas
I love the idea of a walking city. Kind of like a cruise but without having to leave your house.
Now imagine if the city had a mind of it's own...

Still life with Japanese trawler
"Goku also learns a teleportation skill called Shunkan Idō (瞬間移動 lit. "Instantaneous Transmission", (usually shorten to "Instant Transmission")?), which he learned from the inhabitants of the planet Yardrat".[40]

Walking with the fish.
"It was only three AM, and he was already walking with the fish."
An orphaned story by Matthew Watkins.

Like two cities, passing in the night.
They were so close he said, but distant. Like two cities passing in the night.

It's a long way up
I had a dream about two cities...
One is splendid golden and it floats like a castle in the air. It has great stone towers and hanging gardens. Life is good there. Far away on the solid ground below there is another city. Choked with fires, blacked by coal. This city is surrounded by watch towers. Not sure why since no-one has ever escaped. There is nowhere to escape to.
Except up, of course.

A tale of two cities
"Close enough that you could hear the occasional shout, a song, or the murmur of a bustling town on market day. Far enough apart that they rarely paid any attention to each other. Till one day...
An ipad fingerpainting in procreate. The smaller city was painted in brushes on my iPhone and imported.

Excavating a robot fish fossil
Fossil robots in the Bolca are deposited in layers, like a book. Each page a story.
Fossil of lobster and political campaign button
This rare fossil shows a large robotic lobster apparently making his way towards a 20th century political campaign button. The reality of the fact is they could be separated by thousands, if not millions of years. There are no know literary references of robotic lobsters in the 20th century.
