The Human and the Droid

The year is 2093, 20 years after a nuclear apocalypse struck Earth. OL-MCD-8144, otherwise known as Orion, an old droid built in the year 2068 meets a 32 year old alcoholic named Felix.

Orion has no memory of the apocalypse or what occurred before, Felix however, remembers it all vividly. The way his parent's smiled reassuringly as they shoved him and his sister, Abby, into a nuclear bunker, sacrificing themselves to save their children's lives. He remembers seeing his parents decaying corpses once the survivors were released from the bunkers in 2085.

Felix and Orion are polar opposites in most ways. Felix is a selfish man with little to no regard for anyone or anything's wellbeing. And Orion is a Droid who was reprogrammed to be a caring bodyguard/civilian droid. Despite this, Felix finds himself slowly growing attached to Orion, and decides to assist him in figuring out what his objective was and where he was created.

Will the two ever find Orion's creator? Will Felix's sister show up? Will new unlikely friendships be forged?

You'll have to read to find out!

(Orion was a character originally created by my friend, who has given me full permission to use him in my book.)

Side notes: This story is something I've been working on for a few years now. It's been through many prototype stages as I explored different writing styles, perspectives and ideas. But I think I've finally landed on something I'm ready to see through to the end. I will release chapters as and when they are done and I really, really hope you enjoy reading it! I might even try get it published or self publish it when it's completed.
