Chapter 1
Thiago, why are doing this to me? I beg you, let me go.
I am Sorry sweet doll, I will not do that, you see there are three reasons why I will not let you go.
First reason:
Because I can keep you here stranded with me.
Second reason:
Because I am in love with you.
Third reason:
Because you are mine and mine alone.
The year is Three thousand one, our world has evolved but not for the best. Yes, technology has advanced but with all the improvements the scientists have made, our planet has deteriorated. We no longer have living animals, no fluffy dogs, no cute cats and let us not talk about the wildlife, plants, natural water all that is mere memory.
However, we do have artificial pets and equipment that can stimulate the clouds and make rain. It is not the same as the original rain, but something is better than nothing right. We also have cars that hover and work on solar power, they can store energy for when there is no sunlight, the battery can last two weeks. Impressive you might think but there is a downside on having a car, you can only use your car one day a week, therefore you must choose wisely what day you will drive it.
Here is another surprise for you, humans have merged with android robots. It sounds incredible but it is true. It started as an experiment with people that volunteered for the program.
One day our city chief announced in an interview with the press that there would be an experimental program that could help people live longer, have a healthier life and be younger for more years. Of course, people would volunteer. It was a wonderful opportunity to have what everyone wanted. Eternal life. What no one knew is that once your actual body merged with an android body you would not be able to reproduce, it was a slight malfunction that the doctors discovered years later, and it almost caused our own extinction.
You see rich people merged their young children with android parts once the experiment was a ‘success’ to ‘help’ them evolve, but they condemned them to a life without an opportunity to have children when they grew.
There are few humans like me alive on earth, the rest are half-droid, those who are full human are more valued than those who are not. I cannot complain about how we are considered, but there is a reason that our society regards us well, they want us healthy, to use us later like cattle to keep our race alive.
