Story: THEY ALSO SERVE
Number 4 in the online collection
Welcome again to the online story collection, as announced here. The fourth is THEY ALSO SERVE — on of the very few shorts I’ve written that are set in the future. Links to download are below, along with basic instructions.
As noted, this fourth story and subsequent ones in an initial bi-weekly run of a dozen are available as a benefit to paid subscribers only. That’s $5/month for two stories — or even less on an annual sub — for the next six months.
Remember that you can upgrade to monthly paid membership at any time, and unsubscribe again with a single click... and that discounted rates are available for people who refer this site to friends.
I hope you enjoy the story!

Instructions
If you click on the links above, you will be offered the opportunity to download the file to your phone, tablet or desktop. You then need to find where your device has saved the file (on an iPhone or iPad, go to the Files app — where it should be the last file created) and either click or double-click on it.
That’s how it works in the iOS and MacOS universe, anyway. I assume it’s similar under other OS but if someone has concise instructions on how it might work on an Android phone, please let me know and I’ll put it up for future reference. Failing that we’ll figure it out in the comments section.
❗Please also remember that these stories are a benefit for subscribers, and should not be shared around — especially not uploaded to copyright-thieving Web sites.
If you decide you need a ton more stories, right now, then the table-breaking The Best of Michael Marshall Smith collection is available from Subterranean Press.
If you encounter any problems either downloading or reading, please let me know.
Oh wow, I just read this, loved it! I now want a Cat robot.
I am going to stick my neck out here and say that is the best of your short stories... unless there is one lurking that I haven't caught and wrestled yet. It has vibes of 'Moon' (film by Duncan Jones with Sam Rockwell) and 'Silent Running'
