NOTE from the Author: Down


"..in the future, life would be different."

I stared at my own reflection at the bathroom mirror, my mind has been everywhere since Professor shouted at me that "It's happening".

It all started at the company called Starkrobotic, all of them in the company believed that robots has no soul or heart. They made robots for only one purpose and that is they are a humans helper. We create robots to make the human life more easier.

Professor Selvig work also in Starkrobotic, he believe that there is more to a robot. He thinks that their not just a machine, there is something special about them that he thinks he could discover. They think that his crazy but i had to believe him, he is the only person that is close to me. He has been my fake father but I called him professor. Both of my real parents die together in a terrible carmac accident (car accident), I was three years old. No one took me so he adopted me. Professor had no one and now he had me.

I got up from my bed as soon as I heard the alarm. I quickly got myself ready. The feeling of a early morning is the cold tile floor and the wall that is made of dark mirror tile that felt me like everything is full of dark sorrow. I realize that why they hadn't change it. It's like I'm in a box that has no light, sometimes I think "in the future, life would be different."

As I hurried to work, Starkrobotic is the tallest and largest company in Newtone city. Tony Stark, my boss. That's were the company name came from. I have been working for him two years now as a assistant.

I walk up to Professor Selvig work place, that is located at the second top floor of Starkrobotic building.

"Professor, I have the copy for the new robotic line." I walk towards the room. I saw him sitting in corner.

"It's happening" he shouted repeatedly.

"Professor are you all right?" I was confuse, I had to ask.

"Come tomorrow, leave now." he shouted while pushing me out from the door.

I left right away as he push me out from the door, I didn't bother to ask him why he shouted and sitting in the corner. Sometimes I don't know if I could believe him anymore.

"Are you awake?" my boss shouted.

"Yes boss, i mean sir." I said confusedly.

After the meeting, Stark called me over and he ask why I wasn't paying attention on the meeting. The thing that stop me focusing was when Professor Selvig said that it's happening. Stark wanted me to stay serious because the new robotic line is coming up and I am the only one who could talk to Professor.

As I went back at the work place the other day, I found no one in the room. I called out Professor but I heard nothing. Then I felt something moving, I stop and stand silently. I called professor name again, no one replied then I walk closer to the box full of robot parts then I saw a face of a robot. I look closer as I can. The steel face looks so new that I can see my reflection. I stare at it again. Then it jump out like the speed of a jet plane. I shout for help but then it covered my mouth with it's hand. I struggle to get away from it then finally I have been release.

"Don't be scared." it said. I examine it as it stand there, it looks like a human form. I couldn't believe it that it looks like a human except it's metal. The only Starkrobotic they only made is robot machine and that didn't really work out much.

I sat down on the floor, trying to get my breath right. I felt scared on how this could be happening. I had to ask, "Are you Professor work?" I said trying to make my words more clearly.

Then it said that he was and that he is alive because he had a purpose. Then he told me that Professor killed himself as he finish building him. He told me that Stark is building something big that he doesn't even know what he was creating that it could take over the world.

I couldn't believe a robot talks and act like a human. I tried to repeat the things he just said just to let him know what he is saying is crazy. I ask what he is building and how could it destroy the world.

"It's a robotic program that can control the whole data system in every electronic devices that means it can control every machine that a human have, it's a risk." he keeps on saying how bad this could be. I ask how could we stop it, if it could control everything and that would be impossible to stop it.

But then he said I had to take him to the top floor of Starkrobotic building, that's where the data program is located.

I couldn't describe on how I felt right now that knowing my only family that I got is died. I had to believe this robot but i couldn't let them see this robotic thing. I had to hide him in a box using a trolley that is twice as heavy as the robot.

As we came inside the data room, everything was dark. Something moved, we stand still but then we saw nothing. As we finally saw the data machine, he told me to get away fast as soon as he connect his program to the data machine. I felt his heartbeat across the room as we exchange look, he wasn't just a robot. He had a pure heart of a human, I felt it's emotion. It seems he his afraid of dying. I look into his eyes, tears came down. I felt bad that Professor was right. It is possible that a robot is more than a machine.

I hold it's hand, "You have feelings." I said slowly.

"You have to go, this is the only way." he was about to shut down the data but I also knew that if we would shut it down that means he die with it.

I ask him, " Why die if your scared of death?"

It look into my eyes that made me feel like I was also scared of dying.

"My purpose is to die and that is what i have been made of." It sound so confuse that he thinks that it's wrong but he had to.

I also felt pain, I had no one since Professor is died. Then I told him that we do it together because I knew that I once said that "in the future, life would be different" but I don't want to be in that future, i wanted this.

Full of mystery robot and unknown machine that you want to find it out and stay mystery forever.

As we were about to shut it down, I close my eyes and tears came out for the first time and I put a smile in my face that knowing life is always better when you start believing on something is not real.


P.S sorry for the wrong grammar and I didn't read it again because I just quickly uploaded it :D PEACE, don't get mad.
