Exoskeleton                   

A priest absolved us, and all was well again in the world of tomorrow where spider robots had finally gained the upper hand to come out of their hard shells,and reveal their idea of the perfect orgy, rooting through a junkyard of wrecked automobiles while German shepherds barked furiously for the night watchman who was busy watching the Miss America Pageant on a black and white TV in a trailer up on cinder blocks.

Richard Fleming is a survivor of three Chicago blizzards and is busy in his basement building a robot that can shovel  snow.
