I'm up in the air, soaring faster, higher, stronger than ever before. I'm flying away from everything I've ever known, ever lived with. What is this feeling? There's so much sky, so many trees everywhere! I can see a vermillion sun setting so far off into the distance… what beautiful, vibrant colors these clouds have. Master would love to see them. Master… I use my vision to get a close up of the horizon. It's faint, but I can see a trail of smoke rising slowly. The smoke bleeds an inky line through distant fiery clouds, and I now know where to head. I just hope I can make it there before my batteries wear out.   Before long, ear

Well, it seems my end comes here. I'm sorry it was so soon. It's all I can do to dream… …now I'll be dreaming in heaven, I suppose. And as my existence slips away from me, The last thing I hear is your screaming As my existence ceases to be a part of reality The last thing I dream of is you Your smile Your voice Your touch And everything you've done for me You saved me… You saved me, and my soul… You saved my soul and you saved us all… I'll never forget you I'll always… …always… Always have something to remember you by. Be it just a memory Or an item Or the remembrance of your soul&

Day 7417 "We're getting out of here today," the robot says. I'm snapped to attention by his announcement. "What?" "Today. We're leaving the city. Let's go, right now - There's not gonna be a better time to do it. I'm sick of this place. Let's just go." I hesitate. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, aren't you?" "I-I'm not- er, I don't think…" The robot stares blankly as he watches me falter. "This is all you've ever wanted. I believe we're ready. And I thought you'd be more excited about this. What happened?" His question hangs in the air until I can figure out how to answer it. "Well…" I start, but I can't quite finish. "What is it

Day 7416 I wake up late today, still on the floor. The robot comes in to see me. He stands in front of my face, so all I see are his feet as they get closer to me. He bends down to look at me directly. "Are you better now?" he asks with a bit of resentment. I sit up and rub my neck. "I think so. A little, I guess." He stares at me blankly. "You have a huge bruise on your face." "One of the guards punched me yesterday." The robot cocks an eyebrow. He still looks mad. "Why do you try to escape the way you do? You get all beaten up every time. It's embarrassing and stupid. I know you're a smart person, so try strategizing for once." "I

I wake with a jolt and I sit up straight in the bed I had been sleeping in. My headache is back and my throat is still swollen. My body is weak as ever. "I had such a strange dream," I tell the robot blankly as he stares at me. "It was so vivid." "Master, Y-your heart was failing, and you… you started to die, but then… I'm not really sure what happened…" he scratched his head, and looked so panicked and relieved and scared all at the same time. I'm still in shock from my dream. What was with that beautiful place, those beautiful, shining people? "They had wings. Pure, white wings." "Who did?" "In my dream, the people had

Day 7388 The disease has completely taken over my body. I know I'll be in bed for days, if I'm lucky. So many residents have already been killed. "You're so pale…" the robot tells me. His face is clouded with worry. He puts a hand to my forehead for the umpteenth time. "Your temperature's gone up. Do you feel too warm?" "I feel like I'm freezing to death. Please, go get another blanket or something." I can't help but shiver. This fever's got me breaking out in a constant cold sweat. The robot dashes off and returns seconds later with yet another thick blanket. "Thanks…" my voice seems weak. My words are strained. "Are you hun

Day 7386 This isn't a good sign. I've been having bad symptoms lately. There's an epidemic spreading around, and I'm afraid I've been infected. I have to fix the robot before the sickness in me gets too fatal. If I can revive him, he'll be able to make sure I live. If not, then… I focus my attention on my robot. He's exactly the way I left him last night – splayed out on a large, cluttered table. He's surrounded by spare parts and leftover machine pieces, as well as his own dented parts. I have to remember where I left off last night when working on him. Had I been working on his hands? His brain? His heart? Which would be the bes

Day 7384 I'm startled awake by crashing sounds outside my bedroom. People are inside my living area, throwing things, making noise. I can hear them screaming at each other. Who are they? What do they want? …How long have they been here? Wait a minute… The gangs. I'm being robbed. They're invading my house, trashing my stuff, destroying machines. This is scary… I have to lay low. I pray that my most valuable things are still in one piece. It's not very likely. One of the gang's members comes close to the door. Whoever it is, I can hear them breathing, feel them standing mere inches away. If they discover me, I'll be a g

Day 7381 The robot tells me more about the natural part of the outside world. Trees, flowers, water, animals… in all of the technology, I would never have guessed there would be so many parts to the natural element. The elements even have cycles they go through… it's a bit mind blowing to me. Who knew people could use the sun, water, and even wind to power cars, houses, even whole cities…?   It makes me wonder how this city is powered, if at all. The robot finds old books that tell all about animals. I eagerly snatch up the first one he gives me. It's interesting, the way I can learn from books the same way I learn from the
