The Emotionless Robot
Zelo is a robot that does everything hes told to do. And by everything, it means everything. ForewordHello there.My name is Zelo.I am a robot.You dont believe me? Well, its up to you whether you want to believe me or not but let me tell you, I dont lie and will never lie. Im not kidding you. Im a robot, after all. I have nothing to hide. And by nothing, it means absolutely nothing. I have no secrets but I know peoples secrets.For centuries, Ive been watching the families that I serve, cry, smile, laugh and others. They tell things to me and I dont really mind or care. Its up to them whether they want to share or not and if they tell me not to tell others, I wont. But that doesnt mean I lie to others. Ill just simply say, "Its not my story to tell."But those families are happy families. They dont have much worries until one day something horrible happens. Why do I say families instead of family? You see, I serve a family that has been here for generations and generations and all of them live here in this three floors mansion together. Well, not all. I think there are some that have moved out but who cares? I only serve families that live in this mansion.So where was I?Oh, right. Well, something horrible has happened. One of the sons in the families that I serve asks me to kill someone and I do just that.Im not kidding you.I kill somebody. It is my first kill and I have a hunch that it wont be my last kill. And I am right. So the son asks me to kill others and I do it.If youre wondering why I do everything as I am told to do, well, thats a secret.Uh-oh. Didnt I say that I have nothing to hide?Oops. Everybody has something to hide, even a mere robot.Anyway, as I was saying, the son tells me to kill and kill and at last, the police finds out about his deeds and mine. Obviously I cant be punished since I dont exist. I am wrong. I have to be locked up in an attic and stand in the middle of it as people grow. The families that I serve grow up and I am soon forgotten.Sad, right?Humans dont like to be forgotten but they forget others.Anyway, I am still standing in the middle of the attic, not moving. One day, the families move out at last and the mansion remains empty. I know why they move out but I shant tell you. You have to find out by yourself.The mansion remains empty for a long time and I am still standing.Everything is dusty now.But one day, a new family moves in. They call themselves the BAP family. I dont know why they call themselves that and I think that its a stupid name.I hope that they wont find me in the attic because I dont want to serve them.Why dont I want to serve them?Well, you have to read this story to find out. Authors Note: I am inspired by The Strange Housekeeper but nope, the plot is not the same. I just like the do everything as told idea. Anyway, I hope youll read this story.
