The Creation
Robots have been used for work only and have been a great help to society. However one man strived to create a robot that could not only resemble a human, but act like one and feel emotion as a human would too. The creator tried and tried to make the robot, he kept on failing over the years, this was the only thing he had to live for. His creation had been up and running for two years, tweaking it make it acceptable and ready to present. His creation became ready, it acted and felt emotion like a human, so much that this robot became like a son to him. The creator was nervous to let the robot out into public. There had been debates that he had attended, bringing up the idea of a robot that could feel human emotion. Whilst people where supportive, the others were very defensive and told him that there should be no thing such as a robot that can feel emotion.
The creator decided as a social experiment to send his robot out into society, under one condition, that he was not allowed to tell anyone that he is a robot. The creator decides to send his robot to school so that he can get qualifications to live his life as a human. The robot is excited for school, some people see him as different and don't like to talk to him. The robot gets upset, he sits by himself at lunch time, not eating as he can't eat, the creator tells him that he is special and that he should pursue in trying to talk to people because that is what he was made for. One day a girl approaches him and tells him how he is different and starts to talk to him. The robot talks to her and for the first time he has been able to full fill his purpose. The girl finds it strange that the robot hasn't done many activities and doesn't even eat. However she is just looking for a friend too, so she accepts the fact that he is different. The connection is strong between the two, they develop feelings for each other. The creator is unaware of this, therefore when the robot asks if he can bring the girl home, he accepts his request. However when he goes around the girls house she asks him to share a secret, she defines a secret for him. He shares the fact that he is a robot.
The brother is listening in outside their bedroom, he was hoping to make their time together awkward. Her brother doesn't take the fact that he is a robot lightly. He is very much so against robots having feelings, and the fact that his little sister is involved with a robot, made him furious. He gets his friends together and they try to beat up the robot, the sister tells him to hide away because they will kill him.
The robot does not realise it's own strength, and ends up hurting the brother by accident, he malfunctions and the creator has to end up turning him off.
