Nowhere To Go

I woke up. It was already 12 in the Afternoon. It was cloudy and the sun is hidden beyond the clouds. I helped myself stand up. I definitely feel better than last night, I can still feel some pain but at least I could walk normally now and maybe run a little bit.

I throw the old card boards back in the dumpster. I look at myself at a broken mirror that was thrown nearby, I look like a homeless man, well I am actually homeless right now but like, my clothes are tattered, one of my shoes are missing, I have some wounds although there is no blood and I have some bruises from the fall from last night

I leave the narrow street corner and I find myself at the Consumer Center of the City. The place was filled with new gadgets, inventions, electronics and of course, Androids. It was filled with colorful and shiny things. It was really busy with people coming in and out of the stores

I walked around the city. The people I encountered look at me disgustingly, so I just look down on the ground. I stopped for awhile when I saw the Android Avenue, It was all filled with Androids from different Manufacturers

I look at them as I continued walking through, They were surprised and they kept staring at me. They stopped doing their Demos. They probably felt the way I first felt when I saw Androids were being abused then I just continued walking

I ran across a Child Android with his Owner, He had a leash on his neck. He was being pulled like a dog by his owner. I wanted to help him so bad but I couldn't. As an Android, I felt helpless, I kept thinking why, Why are we treated like that? What have we done to deserve that treatment?

Then it started to Rain. I kept walking around because I have nowhere to go. I stopped for awhile at a TV store when I saw Jeff at the news, He was carrying Katie and He was badly injured. At first I thought it was because he was caught by the Policemen but I was wrong

"Could you recap to us what happened Jeffrey?" Said the reporter

"Well, It's going to be a long story" Said Jeff

"That's Alright" Said the Reporter

"I came home a little bit late from my friend's Bachelor Party and then I saw my Android beating up my wife! She was helpless there, I fought back but what I didn't know was, He had bought a gun, I tried to stop him but He shot my wife about five times! I tried to stop him, I tried to get the gun from him which is why my fingerprints are on the gun and he tried to shoot me with his remaining bullets but he didn't manage to get me shot, He punched me on my stomach and I fell down to my knees then He went to the kitchen, I went to my wife who was barely alive on the ground then he came back with a Knife! He pushed me away and he continued to stab my wife" Said Jeff who was faking his tears

"Then?" asked the Reporter

"Then, I ran to him out of my rage and I tried to get the knife from him but He kicked me this time and I landed on the TV, It was hard and painful, He was about to stab me but I caught the Knife in the last minute and I grabbed it, I was running to him, I was about to get revenge, He ran upstairs! He went to the Bedroom and locked the door. I kicked the door continuously and I managed to open it but I was already too late, He jumped out of the window and escaped" Said Jeff then he started to cry

"Don't blame yourself" Said the Reporter

"Please, Anyone that can find that Android, Please take him to the Police, Please help me avenge and bring justice to my Wife's Death!" Said Jeff

Then a photo of me that had a "Wanted" poster appeared on the screen with Police contact numbers. I realized that I was a criminal. I looked behind me and I saw some people looking at me and they were whispering to each other.

There was couple who decided to make a move and had contacted the Police. I started to run away, I ran as far as possible away from the Consumer Center of the City. I kept running and running, fearing that I will be killed or tortured the least when they find me

I ran out of breath and I stopped for awhile at the side street of two buildings. I saw multiple Police cars pass by but I have hidden myself inside a Dumpster. After about thirty minutes, I thought I was already safe and I went out of the dumpster

I walked around the City again while thinking of a permanent or maybe even a temporary place to hide. I didn't notice that I was already found. The police were running behind me then I started to run again

I didn't think of where I was running to, I just pushed people out of the way, I just kept running then I didn't notice that there were police coming from in front of me. I was cornered. I ran into a nearby side street. I pulled down the emergency stairs of a building and I climbed up

The police were already catching up and my feet are uncomfortable. I removed my shoe and I threw it to a police then I continued climbing up. I didn't look back and I don't think that It slowed them down but at least I tried. I finally the reached the roof top of the building

The Policemen were about to catch me, I had no choice, I took the leap of faith. I jumped towards the next building's rooftop. I almost didn't land on the building and It scratched my skin a bit but at least I was safe, or I thought I was

There were also Policemen climbing up to this building. I was about to jump to the next building but one of the Police had shot me with the stun gun. My limbs felt numb and I couldn't move them. I fell out of balance and fell down the building.

Time suddenly felt slow as I fall down the building. I eventually fell down to the ground, I even bounced off before I completely settle down. It was extremely excruciating, beyond any words I could say and My vision was disoriented. I wanted to scream out of pain but my vocal nodules and my mouth was numbed down by the stun gun then I fell unconscious.
