The lore of Evil

August

The person who went against his original dream… 

[I tried to help mankind, but later I knew I had made a bad choice. Seeing through the hypocrisy of human nature and the selfishness of the human heart, I just can't trust any person.]

Unlike the other kids, young August already knew what he wanted to be later. A top PhD in artificial intelligence, one that can improve scientific development and electronic technology research of this world. With the help of technology, he wanted the human species to become more intelligent and kind (he just wanted to do something good for humans and for the world). So he started reading many different books about the development of AI at a very young age. 

When he entered secondary school, he didn’t have so much time for reading those books. However, with the knowledge which he has learned, he sometimes started a project to develop some robots. 

As a student, his school marks were perfect and had also many friends. Of course, he was successfully admitted to a top university. 

In university, he had more time to do what he loved, studying and making robots. His skills improved very quickly. As soon as possible, he became a legend in his study. 

After graduating with a PhD, at a very young age (23), he would like to find a job. A small or a big company is not so important to him. He just wanted to help the world with his technology. After the first interview of his life, that company hired him. And this is the beginning of his change…

He never and ever thought he would be the maker of a murder machine… 

That company gave his first mission to make a robot that can crush everything. They said that it will be used for crushing cars, useless or broken machines and some other stuff from colleagues who want to destroy them. 

When he finished that robot, his boss seemed very happy about the result. Then his boss said that he had some free days for resting. In those days, he could look around the company building. 

Nevertheless, what he didn’t know was what he would see many days later. Something that would destroy his views of human beings… 

It was a day, as usual,  but because of a terrible dream, he got up early. So August arrived at the building one hour earlier. There was no one except him in the building. He didn’t know why he had such a bad feeling when he came in. “Maybe just because this building is empty, '' he thought. Of curiosity, he walked through the hallway, went to the huge room where he finished his robot. He wanted to see his work and whether it was doing well. 

He opened the door, the sudden smell of blood almost dazed him. He turned pale at what he saw. Everywhere in that room was turned red. He saw some blood coming from one of the uncrushed cars. With fear, he opened the trunk and found a young man, who had panicked eyes. The young man seemed to be begging him to help him. August helped him, he let the young man escape the room. However, August heard a loud scream which came from the hallway after some minutes. He came outside and saw that man was already lying in a pool of blood. Next to the body, he saw his boss. He was smiling in a horribly way which made August feel uncomfortable.

"So, you know what happened in that room and you know what that robot does," said his boss. August said nothing, he got too much information at one time, his brain was kinda broken. All he felt was despair. He didn't want to accept the truth that he was making a killing machine. Why would this sort of thing happen to him? He almost became aggressive.

The boss laughed: "The truth may be hard for you, but those are not innocent. We got a mission to kill them and let the body of them disappear. That's why I love your machine. It's working very well. "

"Your machine, your machine, your machine", these words and the relaxed tone of that terrible man destroyed the last bit of his rational mind. 

He rushed at the man, snatched the weapon from his hand, and killed the villain cruelly. His body was badly mutilated and mangled beyond recognition. 

When August came to his senses, he realised what he had done. However, he couldn't accept the truth that he made a murder machine and he killed a person. He wished he was in a deep deep dream and, in the meantime, getting much more scared. So he decided to run away. Away from this mess.

When he arrived at his house, he saw many police officers around it. The police saw him at the same time too and arrested him. In the court, he was charged with the crime of intentional homicide and the crime of false imprisonment. The accuser, his colleague, slandered him about all of the illegal doings (imprisoning and brutally killing people with the machine). As a result of this, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

He knew they didn't tell the truth. Unfortunately he could not contradict them; he had indeed made the machine. But he never used it! 

Now, he saw clearly the true nature of human nature: selfishness and hypocrisy, he started to hate people. But, he couldn't change everything and felt hopeless. 

After months of languishing in prison, he was released. It came as a shock to him. Who would help him? He came outside and saw an unknown man waiting for him. The man said that he had made to release him. He said that a company that makes artificial and bio-chemical weapons needs him and his technology. “If you would like to join us, you can wait at the wharf three days later”, said the man and he left.

August made his choice quickly because there was no other better choice. He came to the wharf three days later and saw that the man was already waiting for him. The man seemed appreciate to him, so he welcomed August.

“Welcome to the A.B.C.W., Artificial Biological Chemical Weapons corporation. This is your last choice, if you come with me, you can never turn back.” said the man to him. ABCW, he has never heard the name, so he began to get a little scared. But, he knew he hadn’t a choice, he looked back at the wonderful looking city that destroyed his hope for humanity. He sighed and turned back to the man. The invitation had been accepted by him. 

What the company had done with him, no one will ever know…
