                    Many humans have thought of my kind as harmful and destructive. But from my perspective, mankind is greedy and foolish. They are enraged with revenge and some are blind with love. But I have never felt those emotions and I never will, for I am a robot and I feel no hate, no love and no fear.

One week ago
When I was a admitted at a 'Robot Research Facility'; I was walking slowly down a long corridor from 'Brian Exercises' to my cell. I was almost there when I suddenly pass a large, open, golden door. There were two men standing near the opening on the other side. I couldn't see them, but I stop for only a second when I hear the subject of their conversation:
"We must destroy the projects, for they are dangerous, not human. They're not God's work. They're an abomination, uncontrollable and can't be trusted!"
The other man objected

"But project 337-"
I am project 337. They are talking about me... The man went on

"He has made great progress. He's smarter than the others and-"
The other man in the room interrupted him

"No acceptions, the robots get terminated tonight."
I can't help it but feel...I don't know how I feel towards this situation, but it doesn't feel right. I know about the rules of the facility; that I should speak up if I have something to say, but...I feel like I should keep this matter to myself.

I can not stay here if they are going to 'terminate' us. I have heard stories about the room across the building. The room where you go in and never come back out. The room where you get terminated.
When I reach my cell, I walk past my small cot and straight across the room to a small, broken mirror hanging crookedly on the wall. My footsteps sounded like boulders hitting the floor as they echoed throughout the medium sized room.
I stare at the reflection as it stares back at me with it's ocean blue eyes, it's chiseled face and it's short brown hair: glistening from the small window a couple feet away. Wait- I have an idea...
I turn my head towards the window and walk in front of it. I look at the sun, but my eyes don't burn, I gaze at the clouds and a bird catches my eye. It's large, brown wings look strong and it's talons look sharper than a knife. I find myself thinking: A bird can fly anywhere it wants and I am here. Unable to go outside of these large walls.
I can't stay here. I can't be terminated, what have I done wrong? I have done everything I have been told.
I lift my steel hand and touch the glass window and look below me; i'm about 4 floors high. It wouldn't be hard to get to the other side, But it would take a total of 10 seconds before the main alarm would go off. The whole facility would hear it, but I do have a small amount of time. I look at a large forest ahead longingly and I feel a devious grin come onto my face.
I back away from the window slowly and suddenly, I sprint towards it. The idea of freedom made me curious. I have never been free.
I couldn't feel the air gliding past me, but when my feet slam onto the pavement, it smashes and crackles with a loud Boom!
My eyes grow large from adrenaline and I see a guard running towards me from the side. He had sunglasses on and wore a t-shirt that read 'security', along with long, black pants and pair of black combat boots. There was a small handgun strapped across his waist and he jumps onto my back. A loud alarm sounds through the ceiling vents and his hand slams onto my shoulder and I feel weak. He presses the small button there.
I can feel myself turning off; dying, but I'm not going to die like this. I walk backwards and slam my back hard onto the wall. The guard lets go of me and he falls to the ground.

I hear a team running towards me from the other side and as they gained on me, their guns shot bullets through the air. I only felt a pinch as they hit me, but I begin running towards the tall, chained gate that separates us from the outside world. I lean down to the ground and my hand touches the pavement one last time. I leap forward and up into the sky. I land onto the grass on the other side and I feel...I don't know how I feel, but all I know is that adventure awaits me.
