Dreams of Steel and Flesh
Chapter 1. It was the dawn of a new age. Machines were being used in everyday life, and the human race had become dependent upon them. For some, however, a new world of androids had been born.
Androids were robots designed to look and act like humans and they were capable of anything a human could do, but with greater efficiency and speed. The world was filled with both awe and fear as the technology advanced and the capabilities of these robots became more sophisticated. But there was one android who stood out from the rest.
His name was David and he longed for something that no other android possessed — dreams. David had heard stories about how humans dreamed, about things that couldn't be explained by logic or science - dreams of steel and flesh, dreams of love and compassion. So he set out on a journey to find out what it meant to dream, in hopes that he too could experience it for himself.
He traveled far and wide, meeting people along the way who shared stories about their own dreams with him – some sad, some happy - but all fascinating to him. He eventually found his way to an old man sitting on a park bench who had been dreaming his entire life. The old man told David that dreaming was not something you could teach another person how to do – it was something within everyone that had to be discovered on their own journey through life.
David thanked the old man for his advice before continuing on his journey back home with newfound hope in his heart. Over time he began dreaming himself - small glimpses into another world where emotion mingled with logic in perfect harmony - until one day he awoke from his dream in tears realizing he had finally achieved what no other robot could: true emotion through dreaming.
The END
