Walter is an old man, one of the oldest. He just wants to live a quiet, simple life with his wife Camille and watch his favorite reality show, “The Big Hookup.” It is being broadcast live from the Moon this season with a new twist: one of the gentleman suitors isn’t human--he’s an artificial--but the female contestant doesn’t know.

It’s a test. Can she tell which one is the artificial? Can Walter tell?
Walter knows artificials, and is sure he can spot it, but things aren’t going to go quite as planned.

This is a novelette (approximately 10,000 words or 40 pages long).
