The Robot
-by Andy

Doctor Feldenstein was a scientist. He specialized in building robots for space travel. Many people would protest his robots, because they said that robots were too dangerous. Doctor Feldenstein was very upset by this, and decided that he would prove them wrong. He would build a robot that not only had artificial intelligence, but that could also feel human emotions. First he thought about building a hate-bot, but decided against it. Then he considered a greed-bot, but changed his mind. Finally, he decided to build a robot that could love. He labored all day and all night to build his new robot. He knew it would change the way people looked at robots forever. Finally, he was finished. All it needed was a name. He decided to call it "Roy." Full of excitement, Doctor Feldman switched Roy on for the first time. Light came into the robot's eyes, as it looked around. It's gaze settled upon Doctor Feldenstein, and Doctor Feldenstein greeted it. "Hello Roy. I am Doctor Feldenstein, your creator." A look of joy came across Roy's face. "May I have a hug?" it asked. "Why certainly," replied the good doctor.
"Perhaps I need to change some of the calibrations," thought Doctor Feldenstein, as Roy crushed him in his horrid metallic grip.
