One day, I hit him, like a boulder across the face. The idea came to him suddenly and unexpectedly.

Tim Reed was a computer engineer. He based his life on designing and programming computers. Tim had worked for RoboTech Industries since he was 24. Tim had built many things for the company. He had made many technical advances and discovered many things. Tim's current project was something big, something that could change the world forever. Tim was part of a crew set up to design artificial intelligence, also known as A.I.

On Tuesday, January 6, 2017, an idea sparked inside Tim Reed's brain. Everybody else in the A.I. crew had gone to lunch, but Tim decided to stay overtime a bit. He figured he'd put in a few extra hours and maybe gain that promotion he's been looking forward to.

While programming some new functions into the newest prototype's CPU, he got this idea, it felt to him as if it had been planted there, by some mysterious being. He quickly studied his data and records and discovered the problem. He spent the rest of the day making adjustments, programming the prototype, making it perfect.

"Tim, it's 10:00, you are officially off duty. Don't you want to leave now?" Tim's friend Michael Garcia had been bugging Tim to leave with him, Mike's car had broken down the day before and Tim was his only ride home.

"I told you, I stumbled on to something, I think I can do this, just give me 15 minutes." Tim said not turning away from his work.

"You said that over half an hour ago," Mike said angrily. "Forget it, I'm calling a cab."

"No thanks, I'm not hungry," Tim said, he obviously had no idea what Michael had said. Tim wasn't usually such a hard worker, in fact he used to spend the last 15 minutes until he got off work staring at the clock, hoping for it to go faster, but today was an exception. Tim had stumbled on to something big, and he wasn't about to forget it in his sleep.

Tim worked and worked the night away; he wasn't going to quit until he was finished. But that was easier said than done, his eyelids were getting heavy, his legs were getting weak, and he was out for the night. At 1:49 a.m. on Wednesday, January 7th, 2017, Tim slept fell asleep at work.

"Tim, wake up man" Tim was asleep on the floor being kicked by a co- worker.

"Ah, shit, did I fall asleep?" Tim asked while getting up. The man who had woken him up was his friend and colleague Steven Scott.

"Yeah, you did. Are you all right man?" Steven asked. "What happened?"

"I was working late last night, I was onto something, something big," Tim got up and took a look at his work; it was just the way he had left it. "Thanks for waking me up man, but I have to get back to work."

"Is this for that special project everybody's talking about, I heard you were put on the team?"

"Yeah, I just had a major breakthrough and… well, I have to get back to work," Tim quickly continued what he was doing the night before.

"Alright, I have to get to work too anyways, see ya," Steven walked out out of the room leaving Tim to work. Thirty minutes later, Tim Reed came running into the boss's room screaming, "I'VE DONE IT, I'VE DONE IT!!!!!"
