Samantha and Peter were counting on their robot, Max, to win the Gladiator Nationals. After years of work, a win would earn them the military contracts that would make their careers. But something was wrong - Max was misbehaving. Was it a hardware glitch, or was there an error buried in the millions of lines of software code? Or was it something else - was Max exhibiting characteristics of human intelligence and self will?It's not clear if the author meant for "Glitch" to be a one-off story or if it's an introduction to Max the robot and his creators, with more to come, but the story has the potential to be the basis for a novel or a series of stories in the manner of Isaac Asimov's classic "I, Robot."
