Chapter Three

Intruders

As the years passed, he grew bitter. He never left the house for anything other than shopping for enough food for him to eat and survive. Nobody recognized him anymore. He was glad for that. His prosthetics were upgraded every so often as Sumdac Systems progressed. He hated life. He felt sick all the time, and nobody cared. Just how he wanted it.

So, when there was a knock on his door one day in 2039, he was surprised. He opened the door, and found a sixteen year old, two fourteen year olds, and a two year old. He frowned.

"What the hell do you want?" He snapped.

"Teach us to ride!" The Asian fourteen year old said. He frowned.

"I don't do lessons." He slammed the door on their faces. He turned and returned to his couch. He heard the three boys kicking and pounding on the door, demanding him teach them. He ignored them, and eventually they stopped. He snorted. Even if he did do lessons, he would never give them to children who gave up.

Checking the time, he realized they had been out there for almost eight hours. He frowned, but shrugged it off. He went to bed on a semi guilty conscious at the thought of the two year old.

The next morning, he heard the kids again. He was surprised, but didn't care none the less. He left them.

Another day passed, and he felt like he should cave. They were, after all, children. But he didn't. Those kids needed to learn they couldn't always get what they wanted.

The next morning, he went to get the paper. He saw the four sleeping on the curb. The two year old had his thumb in his mouth, eyes alert. He walked over and picked the child up.

"Alright. You little shits can stay..." He muttered, taking the child in. He put out some cereal for the child. He dug in as Kup went out to bring the other three in, one at a time. They remained asleep. He sighed and went to fill the tub for the two year old.

He had a feeling the boys would want a bath too.
