The Robots are Coming NEW YORK— Robots are no longer just the realm of science-fiction. Today’s robots are actually becoming more humanlike, or capable of doing many of the things humans do. In the next decades, robots are even expected to take over various manufacturing-related jobs. According to the global forecasting and quantitative analysis firm Oxford Economics, machines will displace approximately 20 million manufacturing jobs globally in the next 10 years. This means some 20 million people are likely to be jobless within the decade. Oxford Economics, however, clarified that automation will ultimately help create just as many jobs....485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7Kag9bx4e

“Tss. Nonsense” I snorted and didn’t finish the news article on the internet.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05KfFZfhWo

I am not a fan of science. In fact, for me, science is just a realm of fiction. It is full of speculation. Yes, some of it may have an evidence but how sure we are that the evidence itself is pure and not just one of their works? I really have no time believing those scientific things. They’re just a fiction—I mean, duh? Robots that are humanlike? Tss, they’re so impossible. We can only see it on TV, but not in reality.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WAazx9Hm5

I sighed.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiMbbhWdQo

Instead of thinking nonsense, I better get some tea to start writing my novel. I’m currently with my fifth novel since I started writing. Usually, I am writing a mystery-thriller and such things related to mysterious stuffs. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkl7BPFlV

But now, what I am writing is all about science fiction. I want to share them my opinions about the existence of science. Maybe I would find some people who believes what I believed in. Some people like me.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvACX65fSu

I am currently writing the synopsis of my sci-fi story entitled “Realm of Science.”485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBxKFDqidc

I started typing on my laptop. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fa0ScSJvt

Synopsis: Let’s look further in the future when robots take over the lead role in humanity. Will they be able to succeed in their mission? Or will humans be capable of protecting their worth against them?485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWStWmCjOq

I am writing this novel not to promote science but to show its negative sides and some of its possibilities that they are not considering. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1g9AGwkD

No, I am not a hater, I ain’t just a fan.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVpQM49sW

I heard my phone beeped. It’s a message from my editor.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJuvhFl6nK

From: Editor Rin 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PGXqOdX2a

The producers want to meet up with you. They are interested in your thriller novel and they want to talk about making it a movie. When are you free? This will be a big hit for sure. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnQ0aTUq1L

I rolled my eyes after reading it. How many times do I have to tell them that I don’t want them to buy my novel? They will just mess it up ‘til my novel’s plot is gone. They will just use the fame of my novel just to catch the eye of the viewers and to increase their ratings.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZqH72amEf

Tsh! Pathetic.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp3XxVz2u2

I suddenly lost the urge to write. I heave a deep sigh and stood up, getting my shoulder bag and left the house. I need to unwind.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQktnVbrYx

I am currently walking on the sidewalk when my phone suddenly rang. I planned to not answer it but the caller is just really persistent. So I opened my bag and find my phone in it. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0nYLhiliE

Busy finding my phone in my bag, I heard a loud engine coming up at my direction. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DTBGOa80m

My eyes widened in fear that it might roll into me. I can’t move my body out of shock and just closed my eyes, praying God to save me from this reckless driver!485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q3VtwwSPg

I waited for the car to bump me but minutes later and I still feel no pain.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOeLrEX9PE

I slowly opened my eyes.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGBLVgu4xL

“Sorry! Your fault though!” 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpuDR3UIuF

A deep baritone voice spoke. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa0bx5mWlT

I felt my heart fluttered. It’s beating so fast than it’s normal pace. But he didn’t even took a glance at me and started the engine again and drive like he’s a character in fast and furious.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYT2DInF1

“What a jerk!” I snapped.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqQHSTlO4F

I made the taxi stopped and get into it. I told the driver to follow the white car and he did. But minutes later, the car just vanished from my sight like a bubble. I’ve lost him... bullsh*t!485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7dg5EJEXe

I realized we’re already far from the city but I insisted to just got off here. I walked without any direction at the seashore, feeling the cold waves caused by the sea. I sat down the sand and didn’t mind if I will get wet. I just stared at nothing.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfz9ZHl8ao

Minutes later and I’ve heard a loud noise that seems like a bombardment was happening in a place near this shore. I also felt the ground quaking. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QJQGMptx

My phone rang again for the second time. I remember I haven’t answered it awhile ago. I abruptly answered it now but what the person said sent chills and havoc in my whole self.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaLMS2bfj5

“The city was bombarded by the government and there is no survivors...” 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLSFc84P7M

Seems like I got deaf for a minute after hearing those words. I felt like the sky had fallen down on me. I can feel my soul shattering into pieces. My tears flowed as pain consumed me.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQKPLuxjsp
