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....486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpnlt75P1f

“Tss. Nonsense” I snorted and didn’t finish the news article on the internet.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFQBzhM2Uy

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs1ZaS5WTO

I sighed.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcbe9ItRrJ

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. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ8p7vh3ZA

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHoaw4q6l

I am currently writing the synopsis of my sci-fi story entitled “Realm of Science.”486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ZXM8hbQv

I started typing on my laptop. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT6CgsYlY7

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?486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJHkKl9Z7Z

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. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRWUXOjNh9

No, I am not a hater, I ain’t just a fan.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOqvCwukI1

I heard my phone beeped. It’s a message from my editor.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVaQ9lVLvi

From: Editor Rin 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjlVabcGmO

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. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGazGAWJvr

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiqwnXNH4K

Tsh! Pathetic.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDlms4Nx3i

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi59Gi1d4Z

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. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAHwgpCla8

Busy finding my phone in my bag, I heard a loud engine coming up at my direction. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ZKsr8GTv

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!486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74x0gkRzMs

I waited for the car to bump me but minutes later and I still feel no pain.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqpVG3vpHe

I slowly opened my eyes.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwTIOC3pTQ

“Sorry! Your fault though!” 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhGBQdrQle

A deep baritone voice spoke. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eheOYMifT

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiGzQrSD6R

“What a jerk!” I snapped.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQaLk5Dsm

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!486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMVOX4pQX8

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFn7clMltS

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. 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCNE9gUZHz

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HtBJKaLNV

“The city was bombarded by the government and there is no survivors...” 486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEPHuuKVeS

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.486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLMh5T6wtq
