A/N: Anything! I can write anything but Thinking, apparently. Gah, why do I even try? This is seriously annoying.
*sighs* Oh well. There's this random thing, anyway. I've seen lots of people doing variations of Playlist Shuffle challenges, and I thought I would too. All the cool kids are doing it, and all that.
No, not really, I just thought it would be fun. :P
Prompts:
Song: Fine On My Own, by Trapdoor Social- A song about not needing any divine power, but with a feel of wanting to.
Word: Bitter
Character: Marcus
If anyone wants to know more about the process, PM me. Otherwise, just go make someone smile. :)
Marcus doesn't believe in God.
He never has, hasn't seen any reason to. Even if God was real, God wouldn't care about him, because God only cares about the people. The real ones. And Marcus is just a sad, pale imitation. He wasn't born, he was built. He only learns because it was programmed into him. He has no soul. Hard as Marcus tries to be human, he will fail. He will always come up short.
Or will he? Is it that he comes up short, or is it the humans themselves that come up short?
After all, Marcus is stronger. He's more powerful than even bionics can make a human. He's smarter, far more intelligent than even Chase. He can be torn apart and rebuilt, and not suffer any damage. When one body wears out, he could be moved to another. And he isn't troubled by silly human things like feelings or a conscience, not really. All lines of code, flying around, paired with advanced AI. As far as Marcus can see, he's better than any human, easily. He doesn't need a God to care about him.
But somehow, that doesn't stop him from being bitter that God wouldn't want to anyway.
