In the year 2060, where technology and innovation reigned and found no bound, it has set the world into a new perspective of life, making it easier and more efficiently. This is where the world of automation also takes place as it has evolved throughout the years. Transitioning cars from gas combustion engines to electric power engines that can reduce the gas pollution that overall caused in the past few years. Additionally, the shift towards electric transportation has spurred innovations in renewable energy resources. However, the impact of automation industry has extended far beyond the realm of transportation. As automation continued to permeate, questions arose about the implications of employment, inequality, and human autonomy.  


London city, England (5:30 A.M)

A company named "E.C. Corporation" is the largest supplier for electric combustion engines for all car companies in the world. With their cutting-edge technology and extensive government contacts, they lead the systematic removal of gas cars into the world's roads. Every muscle, JDM, sedan, exotic, hyper, and vintage cars are no safe from their wrath.

A man named "Ezekiel Blackwood" is the CEO of the E.C corporation and a powerful man who has a determination and will not stop at anything when it comes to seizing gas cars. He recently proposed the project "R.O.A.M," where cars are self driven, and no driver needed to operate these vehicles.

As another pleasant day in E.C Corporation, as Mr. Ezekiel arrived into his company with satisfaction and a big grin on his face as he stepped out of 2026 Tesla Roadster and greeted by his employees.

As he entered the building, he was greeted by his secretary named "Zoey" who was holding a tablet to tell her boss the good news and the stats of the company's well-being

"Good morning, Mr. Ezekiel, " Nina greeted as she taps something on the tablet she's holding.

"Good morning too, Nina. Tell me, what do you got?" Ezekiel said as he glanced towards Nina, who was walking beside him towards the elevator.

"So far, so good, sir. All our sales are beyond as expected, investors like what you had created, and most of all, more electric cars are being produced as usual, " Nina said it firmly towards Ezekiel

"Good, I'll meet you in the office. I have to take care of some business first, " He said as he stepped into the elevator and pressed a floor level.

"Will do, Sir," Nina said before the elevator's door closed. Leaving her standing outside to it

His friend, Ryan, comes up to him and greets him;

"Morning, mate," Ryan exclaimed as he saw Ezekiel came. Then, he glances at the cars being crushed by the dozer.

"Morning," Ezekiel replied. "Are these all the gas cars and bike our men confiscated in the past few days?" He said it firmly to Ryan.

"Yes, they confiscated up to 34 cars this week and seized 1,123 cars by the past few months. By the end of the year, we will make all gas cars extinct from this world, " Ryan said to Ezekiel while grinning.

"Excellent, I don't want any gas cars roaming through the streets. They are loud and they make the air polluted. It makes me want to crush them from the start as I heard their sounds, it irritating. Anyways, keep me updated, Ryan, " He said before leaving the site.

"Will do, mate," Ryan replied as he commanded his men to destroy all the cars and burn them into ashes.

As Ezekiel steps into the elevator and taps into the buttons, he mumbles to himself; "No one can stop me from getting rid of these cars. One day, all roads will be filled with my cars, MY electric cars, " He said while grinning sinisterly as the elevator's door closes.





As soon as the elevator reaches the floor where his office is located, he was immediately greeted and told him immediately about the project "R.O.A.M"

"Good morning, sir. The project you proposed is not yet ready for release, sir" his employee said

"Huh?! What do you mean?!" Ezekiel exclaimed madly at his employee. "Didn't I gave you enough days- no, weeks!?" 

"But sir, the vehicle needs more adjustments and-" before he continued, Ezekiel grab him in the collar and shoves him into the wall.

"I don't care how much adjustments or improvements you need for the vehicle. All I need you is to finish this project as soon as possible, or I'll get rid of you and your assigned team on this" Ezekiel said, as he drops the man down. 

"W-will d-do sir, we're on it. The car will be ready soon" His employee said.

"Good, now get back to work" Ezekiel said to the man as he leaves

"Peasants" He mumbles as he watches his employee leave him and he enters his office

As he sat down , he turns his chair to look at the beauty of the city through the glass of his office.

"Once the project is done, this city will be filled with the cars I concept. It also change the face automation industry that no one will ever seen it coming." He said while he pours down a whiskey on his bottle, as he watches the city's skyscrapers and beauty with a evil grin on his face. 

Somewhere on the outskirt city of Los Angeles (8:50 P.M) 

As neon lights flickered and dance through the silent streets of Los Angeles, an old man is seen walking through the silence and darkness of the streets around him. After hours of walking, the old man stopped in front of a garage that is couple a blocks away from the main street. The old man opened the garage up and saw what he wanted.

"Glad to see you again, dear," He said while opening the garage's door wide and closes it instantly as he looked at the covered car in front of him. "Times  have changed dear, and so are we " he said while running his fingers into the car's body. After a while of observing, he uncovers the car, and it reveals a shiny, gloomy, rose red 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon shines before his eyes. "You're going to meet him, soon enough."
