Novelettes and Short Stories

1. Love (Short Story)

The wind blowed my fake hair as I walked down the street. I can hear the chirping of the birds, the flow of a near waterfalls and the squeaky sound I make everytime I move.

It's been years since the last time I recieved oil that I'm starting to get rusty  and it's harder for me to move than last year.

After the great war of Britain three years ago, all robots were killed and burned. I'm the only one who survived because I was saved by a human. A creature that we robots despised the most.

"Hey! wait for me" he shouts from behind. I've been trying to lose this human for the past three years but he is so persistent.

I continued to ignore him.

"I found oil" he says and that made me stop. He caught up with me and started to put oil in my shoulder blade as I try to move it more freely. Then to other parts of my machinery body.

"Thank you" I said and he just smiled at me. A smile that made my chest throb.

We robots were designed to feel, think and talk like a human and we're also designed to fight and kill humans.

For the past three years that I've been living with this human. I admit, my hate for humans diminished as I have grown feelings for him. Feelings that I should not feel. Feelings that could destroy me...and especially him.

I never believed in love because I believed that love is like a self destruction botton.

I've seen humans get hurt because of the word love and I don't want to indulge myself in it. Never in a million years...or so I thought.

"Let's go?" he asked and gestured for me to hold his hand which I gladly took.

We continued our walk down the sreet, embracing the silence and ignoring the fact that someday I will ran out of battery and will leave this world....leave him.

This is love, I guess. You never know when you'll fall and to whom...
but when you fall, there's no turning back.
