Dr. Henry Stallion Miles was working with his computer. He was messing around with code, relentlessly, all in an effort to create something that could learn, could think. He had the equipment he needed, even a machine that could create any sound that a human could. But every time he got anywhere even remotely remarkable, he would lose his train of thought. It was late at night, and Henry was tired, frustrated, and wanted to go to bed. I must not, he thought to himself. There is still work to be done. All I need, is time. Time. Time! A sense of time! He thought about the code he needed to type, and started moving his fingers, but stopped. His head fell down on the desk, next to his keyboard. Sleep deprivation, it seemed, had gotten the best of him. But in the depths of the night, Henry stirred. He sat up straight, still unconscious. Mostly. His hands got to work, typing in the code needed for a self-relying, self-conscious program. His brain was taking all he knew about coding, and built off of it, experimenting with it, eventually creating the program called R1ch-4Rd. And then, Henry stopped typing. His head lay down, and he slept. He dreamed of the day he was awarded the title Doctor. And then he awoke.
