Robby the robot landed on a new planet to explore. The planet had lush vegetation at first but then the landscape suddenly shifted through different environments like a beach with giant shells. Robby was spotted and attacked but used defense protocols to escape by creating a distraction. Robby checked maps to plan the fastest route back to their ship, encountering rocky and vegetable-filled terrain along the way. Robby was relieved to finally reach the safety of the ship.

1. Robby The Robot
On Patrol

2. Robby landed the saucer on a
fairly stable outcropping of rock.

3. Then stepped out to patrol the
new planet—It was leafy.

4. The vegetation was lush—and
colorful, and leafy.

5. And colorful and lush and, and,
leafy.

6. It was a veritable garden of, well,
Babylon. Robby was from LI, NY.

7. But Robby knew better than to
trust a pretty face—or flora.

8. Robby had been on pretty planets
before. It wasn’t pretty.

9. Suddenly, or as suddenly as
geography can change, it did.

10. Robby found the landscape
shifting

11. The greenery faded. To be
replaced by….

12. Well, giant sea shells. Robby did
not want to meet this crab.

13. The beach contained strange
minerals.

14. And oddly familiar edifices….
mom?

15. Then, without a reason, it changed
again.

16. Robby raised his radar. Robby had
sonar too. And a cup holder.

17. But to no avail. Robby had been
spotted.

18. And pawed. Robby began to ready
defenses

19. Only moments existed for Robby
to get free.

20. Robby initiated defense protocol
23.

21. Robby quickly reversed
polarization of the warp field.

22. To create the sound of prey off in
the distance. Maybe like bunnies.

23. It worked and Robby quickly
moved to cover.

24. Robby checked Google
intergalactic maps.

25. Noted the coordinates and the
fastest route without tolls.

26. And began the journey back to the
ship.

27. It was rocky.

28. Very rocky.

29. Very, very rocky.

30. Except for the squash.

31. And other vegetables.

32. Soon the ship was in sight.

33. Soon Robby was almost there.

34. There, and not soon enough.

35. 
Robby took off, and, once safely in orbit,
logged a report, oiled the parts on the
inside that needed it, watched a little
Netflix, buffed out a few dents, and then
entered the coordinates for the next
planet he needed to explore. Who knew
what Robby would find there? Who knows
what you’ll find on the next slideshare?
Life is like that. Full of unknowns. Full of
songs you can’t get out of your head and
coffee shops on the wrong side of one
way streets. Learn to live with it.
