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....472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rCb18Unsh

“Tss. Nonsense” I snorted and didn’t finish the news article on the internet.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXopElbt9T

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZNzv0lDfE

I sighed.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppPYeX4ZEn

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. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5mKJ8S2d1

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6gLNLnIVl

I am currently writing the synopsis of my sci-fi story entitled “Realm of Science.”472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1aA9bPrJ5

I started typing on my laptop. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcfCIuKI8o

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?472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsee0qlYisI

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. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ZEDZ3x7Y

No, I am not a hater, I ain’t just a fan.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY2eEe98nM

I heard my phone beeped. It’s a message from my editor.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvCVvP6or8

From: Editor Rin 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBYZ7LM2Jr

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. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZTiM3hS9

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixyVJ71fxT

Tsh! Pathetic.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH6varTTXD

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXF7Vb5s83

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. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtoPqQ18KO

Busy finding my phone in my bag, I heard a loud engine coming up at my direction. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz15gCETJLj

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!472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSqJmhPt5o

I waited for the car to bump me but minutes later and I still feel no pain.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthAfSlap8N

I slowly opened my eyes.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr53bVS5MnT

“Sorry! Your fault though!” 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL7ojVq2TH

A deep baritone voice spoke. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAmlODMpSH

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ntAZOIRP

“What a jerk!” I snapped.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBToOlGYkWw

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!472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSzFqodRA6

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jwqHDssQl

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. 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa1vNdu3KZ

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OprKRzXI3

“The city was bombarded by the government and there is no survivors...” 472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOZHij3g7c

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoovSpnMCW
