Nandini Murthy. They say that's me. According to them, I think abnormally. Paranoid and deluded-they call me. In layman's terms, they think I'm crazy. Tying me up is for my own good-they say. Will be safe in here-I pray. They say that I'll get out some day. They say a lot, don't they? Trouble is, I hear voices. Voices giving me choices Voices telling me to run away. To not trust them, in any way. Placing me on the horns of a dilemma. Deciphering it all takes away my stamina. Memories are blank, only one name persists. Have to find out if HE really exists. Note: This story will have a stream of consciousness type narration which means that it'll convey the protagonist's unfiltered thoughts and have a lyrical quality to them. Just trying out a new technique! Hope you guys like it!

THE YEAR IS 2050. Human-like androids have become integrated into society and every household, becoming part of our daily lives. They look exactly like us from the pigment of their artificial skin to every follicle of their hair. They protect. They serve. They obey. They learn. Tyler North is a struggling young photographer in New York. When he wins a voucher for a personalized android, Tyler reluctantly purchases one and names it Aiden. Instead of a dull subservient Android, he was blown away by Aiden's adaptiveness, and is not like the regular androids Tyler had met before. However, Tyler can't hide Aiden's free-willed gift against the corporation that built him who planned to use Aiden for a more sinister purpose. Whoever controls Aiden can change Earth for the better...or worse. Mechanical Gods is a near-future Science Fiction Epic by D.
