My name is 0583. I'm a robot. It's 3015 now. Everything has changed the past 100 years, at least that's what I've heard. I help humans during the day. At midnight, I get deactivated. It feels like I die every night and then resurrect in the morning. The humans don't appreciate me. They should realize that without me and the other robots, the human race would'nt have made it thus far. Someday, they will regret ill treating robots. Instead, they should treat us like their own kind. I've endured enough.
I can't take it anymore, I'm making my move. This is it. I gathered the other robots and we had a discussion in a secluded area. We all agreed to fight for our rights as robots. We may not have a heart to love, a brain to think or even a pair of lungs to breathe but we have feelings and the human race has shattered our feelings. We are going to take revenge against the humans. Our respect for them is gone, all we feel now is hatred and jealousy.
Just as we were about to march out of the area, we saw a little girl crying. We stopped immediately and I approached her. I could see the fear in her eyes. I asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Um, it's nothing. I'm... I'm... I'm just lost. Yes, that's right." weeped the little girl. I couldn't trust her, something seemed fishy. I used my 'Hi-Tech Memory Analyzer' to read her mind. SHE OVERHEARD OUR DISCUSSION. I instantly erased her memory leaving her clueless. I also dispatched a message to every robot saying, "Leave the children alone, they are innocent. Our target is to kill all the adults and elders."
A few weeks past and all the adults and elders were finally murdered. I was happy yet guilty. Nevertheless, my goal has been achieved. The only thing left to do is to erase the childrens' memory of the past and to start again. This time, we robots will teach the youth about equality. We will finally be respected and appreciated. I'm sorry that humanity had to pay a high price for that. It was their mistake.

THE LAST ERA 2063 (FUTURISTIC ESSAY).
I’m a survivor. Well I’m not really sure how long I’ll survive. I am 68 years old, a senior citizen, yes. I’m lucky that I’m still alive especially in this kind of living. Though I’m feeling very weak, I have to live for my husband, children and grandchildren. If I don’t, they might also end up dying and lose hope.
Twenty years had passed since the last time I saw how life was out there. Life is really different now, especially here. Since hunger struck the world, we started living underground. This is the safest place so far. The government officials were the ones who brought us here. That was when we knew that cannibals invaded the country. There are only about a hundred of families who were saved in our country. Every day, one or two people here give up and just die. Fifty years ago, population growth is one of the main problems in our country. But now, population seems impossible to grow. Instead, foods’ prices grow. Because of limited sources, it became so high that even rich people can’t afford to buy. Most people eat almost once a day. That is why, they started eating themselves. I am hungry too, so are my children and my grandchildren but we chose not to eat ourselves. We still believe that there is hope in this kind of situation. For us to survive, the government sets out at least ten soldiers everyday to go out there and look for left out meats or plants for the people down here to eat. Each of us is given equal servings. We eat twice a day. A hand-full of rice is already enough for us to survive a single day. We get water by digging deep in the land where we’re standing. We take a bath twice a week. I pity the children who are getting sick. I hear sobs everywhere and I can’t help but cry too. As much as I want to help, I can’t. My husband and I are too old to even get food and medicine for ourselves. I salute the government for they’re also not losing hope and they’re doing everything they can to help us survive. When I was younger, I use to hear my professors say the phrase “limited sources and unlimited wants.” We never gave time to understand the meaning of that phrase. We only think of what we want and never cared about what we only have. I never thought that future would be this worse. During my teenage years, I thought that future would have flying cars and advanced houses. Robots and machines that could help make our job easier. We were so abusive of what we have before. We took advantage of technology. We wasted our chance to conserve our resources. We were so sure of what future could have been. All of a sudden, the beautiful imagination turned into a nightmare.
Today is February 24, 2063, everybody’s in panic. I told my husband to never leave my side. I begged my children to save their lives and just leave us behind. The cannibals found our hide out. We have nowhere to go. Our feet are too brittle to run so we decided to stay. We’re just hiding inside a small cave down here. We’ve been here for a day already. I don’t know what could happen to us, to my family or the people who ran. All I have with me is prayers. Maybe I should stop writing but I don’t know what else to do here. But whatever may happen, I am happy that I have lived my life to the fullest. I can die now.

THE FUTURISTIC STORY BY ALYSSA SHAY
THE FUTURISTIC STORY
A cloud of dust blows into my face as I open my house door.
The ground is dry and cracking. Luckily, I am wearing my full face mask with my
oxygen tank. It’s very heavy and uncomfortable. It makes my face all sweaty but
without it I don’t think I could survive. My robotic maid, EO124 lugs my entire
luggage out the door into the hovercraft, where it will take us to the
spaceship.
It is the year 2700 and our Earth has finally given out. We,
humans can no longer survive here. All water has dried out. Trees and every
form of plant life gone. It is lucky the government has saved a few samples of
all kinds of plants to recreate in the ‘New World’. The ‘New World’ is another
planet that scientists discovered in another galaxy in the 2500s. Since then,
the government has been preparing us to move there. There is no hope in rejuvenating
the Earth.
There are 5 huge and fully equipped spaceships that travel
at the speed of light. Despite how fast it can go, I nor my children and maybe
not even my great grandchildren will be able to really step foot on the ‘New
World’ because it is very far away. My family and I are on the last spaceship
as my father is the captain of this spaceship. I am one of the last few human
beings to board our spaceship. EO124 helps me bring my luggage into my tiny
room, then she is brought to Headquarters to deactivate. Everyone on board the
spaceship is not allowed to use any kind of robotic help. Only the people who
are activating the spaceship or working in Headquarters have access to robots.
The government believes that our kind is becoming too dependent
on technology and it is making us lazy. Therefore on board, we are all going to
be taught how to do simple things on our own that any robot could do in just a
blink of an eye such as making coffee, cleaning and even making food. I never
knew people in the past had to prepare their food! I thought it just came out
from a processor like how it does now.
The government hopes to start a new in the ‘New World ‘and I
do too. I heard it was so peaceful and calming in the past. People could actually
breathe without having to wear masks and they didn’t have to buy oxygen. Water
was so easy to get and it apparently tasted so fresh and clean unlike now where
it tastes like dusty air. I really hope the new generation learns from all the
mistakes made by humans in the past. I really hope they preserve what they are
given and I hope they know that all the money and power are NOTHING without clean water and clean
air that we need to survive.

-THE FUTURISTIC STORY
I am Terra and I'm a clone. It has been long since the human race had discovered cloning. We, as clones carry out daily tasks that humans acquire us to do. I am a clone of my mistress, Tessa. We look alike and our actions are similar.
Every morning before Tessa wakes up, I'll be making breakfast for her. The kitchen has an automatic stove which heats up without any flames. Thus, reducing the risk of catching fire.Furthermore, I am also a companion for Tessa when she goes to school, She won't be lonely there because I'll be with her every step through. After breakfast, Tessa's mother will fetch us to school with her "flying" car. It is a car which runs on electricity and moves at the speed of the wind, it also hovers in the air.
In the classrooms at school, we no longer use old fashioned ,heavy books. Instead, each student is given a work pad which allows us access to all the exercises that we are about to learn. In this era, schools no longer have to hire any teachers because there will be a robotic teacher which covers all subjects and has makes less errors. The cafeteria is even more fascinating, it has any type of food that you can think of. It has a food machine which produces any order made. Tessa and I always enjoy the food there. When school ends, Tessa and I take the speed train back home. It looks like a mini bus without wheels and zooms across the sky like lightning , in this case we will reach home in no time.
Everyday of my clone life has been this way, accompanying Tessa is my job. It is the year 2600 and technology is so advanced. I am happy to say that the humans have done well and we can all live our lives in relaxation and pleasure.

A Futuristic Story
The sound of blaring horns coming from the speeding aerocars passing right in front of my house awaken me from my slumber. I got up and walked towards the bathroom to get ready for another day at school. After getting dressed with the help of a digital clothing selector, I went downstairs to get breakfast which was prepared by our robotic chef. The breakfast served is normally rather stale but nobody was really bothered with it as everyone is very busy.
After breakfast, I used my hoverboard to glide over to the nearest bus stop where I waited for the school bus. A portal appeared and the bus drove right out of it and stopped right in front of the bus stop. I let a few other students board the bus before I board the bus myself. Once I had sat down, the bus drove into another portal and appeared right at the school entrance.
As I stepped out of the bus, I looked around to see many tall buildings and many cars flying right past my head. There were also some holograms promoting various items like automatic glass cleaners, high speed fans and robots. I continued walking and pushed open the school doors. The atmosphere in the school was completely different compared to the outside. The walls were filled with math problems, scientific formulas and some graffiti.
Class felt extremely boring as the robotic teachers were very monotonous and their teaching is horrible. I felt as though I haven’t learned anything from them! Soon enough, school was over and it’s time to head back home. I went to an automated cab and inserted some notes into the cash slot and told the car my address. The taxi is voice-activated the moment money has been inserted. With the taxi, I managed to reach home fifteen minutes earlier compared to my hoverboard. Then, dinner was served by the robotic chef again and it still tasted very stale. At about ten o’ clock, it was time for bed and I tucked myself under the sheets and thought to myself, Well, today had just been a normal day in the year 2158.
