His mother always told him to be nice to other people and he really tried his best. But Androids were no humans and he did not accept them as such. They were just wires and metal and plastic! Nothing more! No bones, skin or blood was inside them and he was sure that one day they would turn against the humans.
"Tom? My mother told me to bring you to school."
Marley, this stupid Android his mother got to help her stood in the door and smiled. It was no real smile. She was no human.
"I do not want to go. And you are not my mother. You are not even a human."
He was only eleven years old but he understood much more than the other boys and girls his age. Marley shook her head and tried to sigh but she was still just an Android. Tom stood up and ran out of the room, trying to hide. Even though it was useless since she always found him. Another Android trait. But this time he had an actual plan. The boy ran into the old shed and locked the door. He grabbed something from the small table and escaped through a hidden door. Just in time because he could hear that she was already unlocking the door from outside.
He sneaked up behind her, pointed the nail gun towards her and shot right through her head. Sparks were flying, she began to shake before her mechanical body hit the ground. It was finally over. Tom pushed her body in the shed and locked it before he went inside the house again with the nail gun. His mother was home four hours later and she asked him why he was at home and where Marley was. There was no point in lying and he told her what he did. As expected she was furious and shouted at him. Merope was angry, she blamed everything on him, asked him why he was so strange and could not accept the Androids. But then she made a mistake. She said that it was his fault that his father left her when she was pregnant. That it was his fault the whole time. Tom simply stared at her, pointed the nail gun at her and pulled the trigger.
