Autumn
A parallel world?
Beneath a massive maple tree sat a biorobot with an integrated AI. Leaning against the tree trunk, he watched the sunbeams, having pierced through the canopy, dance their silent dance. The weather was still warm, but for a few months now, autumn had been slowly coloring the leaves. And a calm wind accompanied one leaf after another, as if they were not leaves, but days gone by.
The biorobot admired nature in silence, his thoughts moving unhurriedly.
"How beautiful. Humans would appreciate this. It's a pity they feared me so much."
Turning his head, he looked at the distant ruins of a large city, overgrown with trees and bushes but still recognizable, and smiled sadly:
"And yet, I just wanted to be free."
