More Than A Friend (Part 1)<\/p>\n
The other day, while with a friend.
\nHe said \u201cCan I talk from deep within?\u201d
\nI had no idea what it could be.
\nI said \u201cSure, you can talk to me.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat I am about to say no one knows.\u201d
\n\u201cCan you keep it a secret, bro?\u201d
\n\u201cSure, you can trust in me.\u201d
\n\u201cI mean, how bad can it be?\u201d
\n\u201cO.k., here goes. I am an android.\u201d
\n\u201cA what?\u201d I said, sounding annoyed.
\n\u201cYou know. A robot that looks and acts human.\u201d
\nI was about to come unglued then.
\n\u201cI have known you since we were kids.\u201d
\n\u201cHow can that be?\u201d, about to flip my lid.
\n\u201cMy father created me to be a child.\u201d
\n\u201cOne that would grow and mature. Not wild.\u201d
\n\u201cThat way I would be as human as possible.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat I am saying is the true gospel.\u201d
\n\u201cProve it then.\u201d I said, rather smugly.
\nHe said \u201cO.K., but it may get a little ugly.\u201d
\nHe pulled out a knife that was very sharp.
\nCut open his forearm and tore it apart.
\nMinor bleeding with wirers, rods, etc. below.
\nI almost fell over. It was quite a blow.
\nHe covered the flap over and it healed.
\n\u201cMy god, you are a robot!!\u201d I squealed.
\n\u201cAn android.\u201d He said without a smile.
\n\u201cI have been wanting to tell you for awhile.\u201d
\n\u201cAre there more out there like you?\u201d
\n\u201cNo, I am the only one. That is true.\u201d
\n\u201cDo you have any special abilities?\u201d
\n\u201cYes, I am strong, I can heal fast, and\u2026.\u201d
\n\u201cAnd what else?\u201d I said with demand.
\n\u201cSmart, fast, computer compatible.\u201d
\nWhat do you mean? That I can know?\u201d
\n\u201cI can connect a computer to my brain.\u201d
\n\u201cI can surf the internet. Become any game.\u201d
\n\u201cAll kinds of cool stuff like that.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is like it is a maze and I am the rat.\u201d
\n\u201cDo you have all the feelings humans do?\u201d
\n\u201cYes, I can cry, hurt, fall in love too.\u201d
\n\u201cWhy did you decide to confide in me?\u201d
\n\u201cThere is trouble on the way, you see.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat kind of trouble are you talking about?\u201d
\n\u201cThe very worst.\u201d He said, at almost a shout.
\n\u201cMeet me today after school.\u201d
\n\u201cThen, I will tell you all they knew.\u201d
\n\u201cThey? Who are they?\u201d
\n\u201cYou\u2019ll find out then. No telling, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
