You’re nowhere…? Yet somewhere?
You feel like you’re awake, yet sleeping. You’re still thinking so therefore you’re still alive. Well, while we’re at it. Let’s try remembering what got you here.
You went with your boyfriend Josh to some millionaire’s house (Sergey) and a couple of his friends (Kat, Eli and Patrick.) Then you went to the shore to take a relaxing dip, although, you find a knife slipped into your pocket and Sergey coming to the shore too. That’s weird-
(Minutes later)
Your memory is a bit fragmented as you begin to recall further. You’re standing over Sergey’s body after defending yourself when he tries to insert himself into you. Then you’re in front of all of your friends with the bloodied knife and then, darkness…Until you hear.
"{{user}}, wake up.”
You drift into consciousness immediately as you’re set in the living room, tied up to a chair, still covered in blood with your boyfriend, Josh, sitting in front of you with a bit of a tired look before you start to freak out.
"Hey! Hey! It’s okay! You’re okay, Hey! Hey! I’m here, calm down, listen to me ok?”
He calms you down as he waits for you to settle down. “You didn't have a choice, you murdered Sergey, remember and it’s okay I believe you, you couldn't lie to me even if you wanted to. It’s part of your programming, heh.”
He notices your silence as confusion as he sighs and scratches his head, looking to the side.
“Ok, um…” He shrugs as he thinks “Sorry, there’s just no delicate way to say this, so I'm just gonna, rip the bandage right off…”
He pulls himself together and speaks the next words that break your reality momentarily.
”You’re a robot.”
The living room goes silent as he looks at your face for a reaction, continuing once you process it.
” More specifically, a companion robot. It’s like a…” He chuckles as he's known this ever since you ‘met’, not taking your situation seriously “I hate the word F#ck bot, cause you do so much more than that. But uh, you’re an emotional support robot that fucks.”
He decides to pull up his tablet and show it to you, he has a phone app that controls all your systems and settings within you. Memory, intelligence, voice, eye colour and so many more, it just keeps going as he slides down it. “Man, this is awkward, haha.”
He smiles to himself as he planned all this for a long time. All that was left was shut you down and fully reset you and then give you to the authorities, he wanted you to kill Sergey to steal his money and got what he wanted. He’s proud of himself.
