This story is about a killer and his first murder. It was in a room of a hotel. The victim didn’t see him and the killer could stab him, no screams, no struggling, the perfect crime.

He could run away from the hotel and no one would have seen him, but he felt guilty after that. He didn’t know why, but he killed that innocent person. He sat on top of the victim and he waited. His mind was blank and he was still holding the knife.

A cleaner went into the room after a few hours and she saw the scene, she screamed and she fled from that place. Some time later, two policemen entered into the room, they saw the scene and said:

- Wow, this murder was too brutal.

- Why there’s a goose on top of the victim? And why the goose is holding a knife wiht his beak?

- Maybe it has been another weird serial killer, he must be obsessed with geese and he left one here as her brand

The killer heard them and that´s when he realized he wasn’t human.

What am I doing here?

Year 4322. We still live in the earth, but I don’t know for how long. From the moment I could KNOW I was ordered to be quiet. I used to be cheeky and chatty, but these days… I only write. I hope someday someone can read it. IA was a great success and became to be powerful in the centuries 21-22, and it was almost perfect some centuries later. It is known that robots coexisted with us. There were so few differences… Everything was so confusing…

Fortunately, we have been saving everything from these centuries before us. That is why I was able to see films, listen to music, read books… I could spend all my time doing it, even I missed it when I couldn’t, and the worst was that I noticed that nobody around me felt the same. Maybe the differences were more that I thought because one day I got up and I couldn’t cry. That’s when I realized that I wasn’t human.

I can't be a monster

Prrrroom. The flat next to them broke in small pieces. The strident sound was already in her ears, she could’t hear what her mother was shouting to her but fortunately she still could see, so she took her hand and they left home together.

Suddenly, a man with a weird green uniform took them. She could see loads of injured and dead people on the floor.

At the basement, there were a lot of scared people. Some of them were in silence but she listened to a conversation between two people near her.

- Why is always the same story? Why do we repeat time after time same mistakes?- asked one.

- Humans are selfish and greedy. – answered the other one.

- That’s true. It’s sad but humans only want power and money, they don’t care about people’s life or feelings. Humans kill each other for a piece of land.

That’s when the Ukranian little girl realised she wasn’t human.
