A Runaway and Her Dead Cyber-dog: Sci-Fi

The raindrops slid down her blood-slicked cheeks as she huddled against the cement wall. She tilted her head to the sky, hoping in vain that it would wash away the blood and leave her clean. All it did was sting when the acid rain got in her eyes. The body at her feet lay motionless, as trails of blood were washed from it into the gutter. Poor Bozo. He'd been faithful to her for so long, right from the time she was a little girl. Not that she was much older now. Before she'd had to run away, she would have claimed to be grown up. Two weeks on the street had cured her of that notion. Bozo had saved her many times in that two weeks. His eyes had analyzed the food scraps she dug out of the dumpsterbot, and he'd growled softly to warn her whenever the food was spoiled.


Inspiration: "Father Don't Cry (Extended)" by Doubting Thomas. The opening sounds a bit like synthesized rain drops. I've been listening to Doubting Thomas a lot this week.
Story Potential: High.
Finished Length: ? No, really, I should just remove this question.
Notes: I seem to be in a sci-fi mood lately, though after the first sentence I thought it would be horror. Nope. Definitely sci-fi. Former rich girl flees home for reason unspecified with only her pet cyber guard-dog. Oooo! Inspiration just struck. Falada, Falada? Sci-fi retelling of "The Goose Girl?" Could be fun, but why not go for something totally original, if there is such a thing? So what happened to poor Bozo? I'm amused that my notes seem to be more questions to remind myself to answer.
