Nos-4-A2- Whoa…..
'The
pain it's gone!'
'Where I'm I?'
'Where have I
been?'
'It felt like a place in between…
In between
what?'
'Life and death?'
'Could I've truly been in a
oblivion such as that?'
'Why am I awake?'
'Why
know?'[Bubbles floating upward]
'Am I under water?'
'Why?'[A
figure walks by]
'Wait I see somebody'… [He
tries to touch]
'Whoa….I'm inside a tank!'
'Is
someone studying me, or finding ways to torture me?'
He looks
closer, then his programming kicks in, and then he knew who the
figure was.
'Mother…?'
'I have a mother!?'
An
overwhelming power, comes upon him, causing the tank to collapse into
shatters.
The air tubes that were supporting is artificial lungs
that were installed for the past year
break off. Mother screams in
fear. He falls like a trout onto the tank floor. The lungs
expand
letting in oxygen. Something in his chest started to throb.
'What
is that!?'
'What's going threw me?!'
'Air!?'
'Am
I breathing?!'
'Really breathing?'
Suddenly he realized
what thing throbbing his chest was. He heard of the heart,
But all
really knew was it was what kept real organisms alive.
'But why
do I have one?'
'Have I resurrected threw a human body?'
'Not
possible, INVALID.'
But he could not deny this rush of life he
was feeling. It was like all his sense had been
heighten to the
highest possible level.
His bewildered thoughts were interrupted
by the human that was standing
there frozen in
shock.
He felt a sudden weight on his chest. He had no idea what
it was.
The human was of course female with hazel eyes, short kind
of spiky blonde hair
with yellow high lights, she was wearing
something a car monkey would.
She looked like ice. This made the
weight even heavier.
He wanted her to snap out of it, to act
normal. He wanted his mother to act normal. Mother.
His chest
felt like it was going to explode. Which is something he DID NOT want
to experience again, especially now.
Then he suddenly realized
what that feeling was.
'LOVE?'
'INVALID.'
'What's
invalid?'
'Its not invalid, not at all!'
' How can it
be, when you've seen humans express it to one another? When you've
heard about it actually wanted it for yourself!'
'Now I have
it, and it hurts!'
'It hurts in a good way.'
'It hurts
because I saw the fear in her eyes.'
'I WILL speak with
her!'
Then another feeling came: FEAR. That hurt worse. But he
must speak, he must!
A timid voice came from his lips.
Mu…..mother
Love came on him so fast that his eyes started to
water.
'Tears, real tears'
His arm seemed to throw its self
to her like an offering.
She would not move.
Tears flood down
his face. They come from her too.
"No…..please….don't!"
"Don't
cry!"
He never thought he would say words like that. But
they came out like velvet.
She smiled. The weight went away. Just
a overwhelming JOY now.
She finally got the courage to touch him.
He felt her, for real.
He gets up with her help. He didn't feel
like a clomp of metal any more.
But he suddenly lost his balance
and crash onto the floor again. It hurt his back.
Mother gasped,
and fell to him gracefully like a bird.
"Nos-4-A2!"
"I'm
sorry!" like she had been clumsy and spelt something all over the
floor.
"What? Why? What happened?"
He got a good look at
what made him fall.
"Legs!?!"
Yes legs, metallic blue
skinned with 10 toes each. He even wiggled them to see if
they
would move.
"You gave me legs!?"
"Yu…Yes…are you
mad?" like a frighten turtle.
"O No, no this is amazing!"
"Its
just that I'm so used to hovering on that stupid tail,
that I
didn't know how to stand on legs!"
"Are you
ok?"
"Are you kidding?! I feel
fantastic!"
"Really?!"
"Yeah!!!" then Nos is
interrupted by his own curiosity.
"Hey…do have a mirror? I'd
like to see my face."
"O yeah, of course I'll get it"
Nos studies his self while she looks for it. He looks at
his skin, it looks so human but as he looked closer he realized that
it was a very high-tech metallic material. And he still had claws but
had 5of them instead of 4, and they looked gentler. Nos was totally
amazed by the craftsman ship.
Mother returns with the
mirror.
"This skin is probably the most amazing tech I've ever
seen!"
"O well in order to make good robot molds,
I think I
need to know a lot about an organic body."
"Really? Huh…
well your right!"
She smiles.
Nos gently takes the mirror and
looks at his face. It's still his face! But it too was softer
And
his painted marks that represented hair was now black instead of
purple and it hade
yellow stripes instead of a lighter
purple.
While he was looking, the excited woman starts geeking
out.
"Wow this awesome, man God must have had something to do
with this,
I mean, everything worked out perfectly!"
"God? Are you religious?
The woman is taken back, but regains her
confidence.
"Yes, I believe in God and that His Son die for our
sins!"
"I never really heard about that stuff
before…"
"Uh…really?"
He nods.
The women feels
like she should say more but doesn't won't to argue
So she
changes the subject.
"Do you really see me as your
mother?"
"Yes…I do, I really do!"
"Wow…that's amazing!"
Nos smiles.
