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....488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HdyIoGqoD

“Tss. Nonsense” I snorted and didn’t finish the news article on the internet.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefPd7sGXyY

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql68QaK7yB

I sighed.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVSFe2L732

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. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5LN4rb2Q

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcW9UEiBPI

I am currently writing the synopsis of my sci-fi story entitled “Realm of Science.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhxBddzGPx

I started typing on my laptop. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBgFU7UDMI

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?488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea3GVDLToo

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. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfYppqDX5I

No, I am not a hater, I ain’t just a fan.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBuwxIQQ6U

I heard my phone beeped. It’s a message from my editor.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG0z7f36bq

From: Editor Rin 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYfE18RyW8

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. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYVLnORj31

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd0j1m5fNS

Tsh! Pathetic.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyalKP8GCt

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm1Ojt2QHS

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. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLO58a4C0b

Busy finding my phone in my bag, I heard a loud engine coming up at my direction. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsNYhXDdMF

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!488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5THxonpaX

I waited for the car to bump me but minutes later and I still feel no pain.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIIJM3Gz8i

I slowly opened my eyes.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNrsAtbXlH

“Sorry! Your fault though!” 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5gN5Qle52

A deep baritone voice spoke. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ3m6ePo09

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdb4FlReQG

“What a jerk!” I snapped.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv55IGLU8X

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!488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogIRuak7ZC

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHobweyZf

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. 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLhHLcnXId

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPjnyIeS7

“The city was bombarded by the government and there is no survivors...” 488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoRtsKMGrI

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.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZbJ3s7s1Q
