The Woman Who Shot Me Down

This piece was first called "What Drives A Woman", as she is made from various types of drives such as: gears, sprockets, chains, cams, ratchets, drive shafts, hydraulic rams, etc. These and other, drives can be found throughout her racy, high performance body. Later, I changed her name to “The Woman Who Shot Me Down”, to reflect events going on in my life as she came into being. Unfortunately, as you might guess from the title, I never really got the chance to actually know the woman who inspired this work.
She flashes a big smile as she reaches for the charging handle of her .30 caliber water cooled machine gun. Sporting a fresh belt of ammunition she's ready to give me the whole 9 yards. She's really steamed! No, really, she is powered by the steam engine on the base of her chair. She is fast! She has a 4 speed shift in her right leg. She’s only slightly slowed by the parking brake in her left leg. Despite those killer heels she the a ‘stay at home’ kind of woman. She prefers to sit on her throne, hair blowing in the wind, firing away at..well..me. Yes, a very commanding presence. Even though sitting she is over 6 feet tall. This stealthy beauty weights over 1,000 pounds. ..These stats have, so far, kept other men from stealing her…though there’s little doubt that she can protect herself from any and all advances.

Produced over two years of ecstasy and agony, alas this relationship has become far too heavy for me to handle. I figure if I lighten my load by about a thousand pounds, it might free me up to pursue another wild and steely woman.

cost of freedom- $6,000 US dollars ,
