“1.
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a
human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders
given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict
with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as
long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second
Laws.”

Today I found out the answer to da million dollar question. And I'm
not telling! Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Important Spell
How do I make this summoning circle? I keep getting the results
wrong. And if I don't figure out the right spell the next thing I'm
going to hear from my boss is “Jasmine, you're fired.” The spell
invention business is ruthless and when a wizard asks for a spell to
be invented you get it done on time or you're fired. They'll find
someone to replace you. There is always someone to replace you lined
up right outside the door. Everyone wants to get famous inventing
spells. I do. Right now I'm practicing making spells to order and
soon I want to invent a super-spell that will make me a famous wizard
for the history books. A dream shared by about a billion other
wizards.
I can't figure out how to arrange these lines. It's such a complex
summoning. I've summoned demons and it was much easier. Maybe if
I...no...that'd bring forth a goblin. And that other arrangement
would bring forth a plague. No, no, no...I'm going to lose my job
aren't I? Oh, it would have been nice to figure it out. It's for a
big client. Yordel, super wizard, and owner of his own pocket
dimension. A may have even gotten a raise. Wait, raise! If I raise
this line in the summoning circle...yes! I have it!
“Boss, the chocolate sundae summoning spell is ready!” I shouted
with glee.
