Aliwicius Rodney __ __ Mankin. Entered Sally’s life as a life-size man doll. She and her daughter built him as a lark. He became Sally’s man about the house and shotgun seat traveler so that she never appeared alone and vulnerable in her escapades. But Sally’s computer geek grandson by choice, Bobby, installed Artificial Intelligence into Aliwicius. And Sally’s life flip-flopped. Aliwicius became Rodney… his choice. He chose Mankin to replace man-doll. He sings, he researches, he assists Sally in her endeavors. And gets himself into a multitude of predicaments. He has an AI wheelchair he named Amy because he has no skeleton. He cannot walk, dance, or eat food, per se. His diet is strictly electrical power. Not his druthers, but what he must accept. A strange thing happened on their last outing at Peppersauce Campground. A tic had burrowed into his belly aka, main-brain. That’s all Sally could remember happening when they returned home and he could suddenly speak with any animal in their own language. Feeling a need to use this new gift for good, he began seeking out critters who have been accused of doing wrong and were scheduled for death row. With Sally as his check and balance, Rodney commits his life to defending the wrongly accused before their sentence can be carried out. Among other things… Here, then, are Rodney’s stories.
