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....511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kIjMVInB

“Tss. Nonsense” I snorted and didn’t finish the news article on the internet.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4uE82pQo

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BX9pU0OV1

I sighed.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqDVWOM1Oj

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. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLjOhhf4sl

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y4XlQKFTd

I am currently writing the synopsis of my sci-fi story entitled “Realm of Science.”511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycgBS7rUJu

I started typing on my laptop. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7srAFCOnK0

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?511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlEVpMhRns

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. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXkiQ37RMZ

No, I am not a hater, I ain’t just a fan.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49yYVyWZbH

I heard my phone beeped. It’s a message from my editor.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RF3wxBfm5

From: Editor Rin 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwAatSudiH

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. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacJidaBYp

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG7xzs2ocT

Tsh! Pathetic.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpjmuRGbQF

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaTSikdhjP

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. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdRHd1U0Ek

Busy finding my phone in my bag, I heard a loud engine coming up at my direction. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM9OB6cUXE

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!511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg7TZ2n7P9

I waited for the car to bump me but minutes later and I still feel no pain.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSgbTOgsgq

I slowly opened my eyes.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsFxDrJV2P

“Sorry! Your fault though!” 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWgZEOaosk

A deep baritone voice spoke. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3nJGdzbE

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42NBqjmNn5

“What a jerk!” I snapped.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVkGNepom

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!511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5oCMVHZGD

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX2LET6zR7

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. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbxGDh5sZj

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLepsyzMGg

“The city was bombarded by the government and there is no survivors...” 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOK4Y4VqM

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDlj3msvGm
