As she laid there

Torn to pieces

She looks around

Alone

She goes to message her creator

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

He answers

"Echo? Are you okay?!" He asks

"...No." The machine replies

"What happened?!"

"...I...failed."

"Are you able to get back here?"

"...No...I...am...in...pieces."

"No, shit shit shit! Just stay with me Echo, I'm coming!

"...Creator."

"Yes Echo?"

"...Am...I...dying?"

"...Unfortunately, it sounds like it."

The machine looks around

The machine is alone

The machine is dying

"...Creator?" The machine asks

"Yes Echo?" The creator replies 

"...Thank...you."

"...Echo, don't you die on me dammit."

"...I'll...say...goodbye...soon."

"Echo, don't you dare die on me!"

"...Though...it's...the...end...of...the...world."

"Echo I'm almost there!"

"...Don't...blame...yourself...now."

"Echo!"

"...And...if...it's...true..."

"Echo...?"

"...I...will...surround...you."

"Echo..."

"...And...give...life...to...our...world."

"Echo don't you..."

"...That's...Alright..."

"..."

"...Than...ou..."

"Echo...!"

"...'ll...ay...goodbye...soon."

"Echo..."

"...Though...it'...th...end...of...the...orld."

"...Echo..."

"...on't...lame...yourself...now..."

"...Echo..." The creator was on the verge of tears

"...And...if...it's...true."

The creator had arrived, running to the machine

"...I...will...surround..."

"Echo!"

The creator would crouch down

Looking at his machine

Destroyed

Hurt

Dying

He'd hold the machine in his arms

"Echo...no..."

He'd cry through his tears

"...You..."

Those were the machine's last words

As the creator sat there

Holding the machine

He cried

And remembered

Raising the machine 

From its first days after creation

Through the years they've been together

All the good the machine had done

But one memory stuck out

A memory of him and the machine

Listening to music

And that exact song coming on

That song was the machine's favorite 

The machine sung that song from time to time

And the creator would listen

Every single time

He never thought of the day

He'd listen to the machine sing

One last time
