Is today's prompt a reference back to this week? Or is it something Max came up with while watching your Netflix shows? ;-) Either way, four lines isn't going to do Lord Derby's world justice this week I think, and working the prompt is would be... tricky, to say the least. Now, if Elizabeth knew what Grace has been doing I could definitely make it work, but we're not there yet. So....

The emotions factory
Professor Guildenstern's side project was building a robot that could pilot her rocket, and so she was spending Friday evening working on its coding rather than testing booster rocket fuel. The neighbours, relieved at last to not have forty-metre plumes of flame towering in the night sky and making it seem like morning had come briefly but early, were ignoring the sobbing sounds coming from the windows of her country house.
"I can't help it," sobbed the robot, sounding as though someone had accidentally left its Barbie on the barbie, "it's this new emotions factory."
"The feelings factory," corrected the Professor sternly, "produces more than just the collywobbles and PMT, so try harder!"

Greg - nah, was just wanting a prompt about a factory and was trying to come up with a... unique product for it to produce.

Haha, I'm enjoying these detours into Professor Guildenstern's world :D
