To gather time

And keep it for later days

Went to look at time provider web site

Phoned technical assistance

"When am I supposed to use this ?" I said

"Depends, when are you?"

"I'm either too late or too early."

"We can provide you with time readjustment" they said.

I said �Ok".

Received the mail.

Plugged in the time readjustment device

Put DVD in computer.

Saw failures.

Saw how it could be.

Saw how it could have been.

Began to cry like useless machine.

Looked at back of the package.

�Action Corp.� it said.

Phoned back.

Told them program must have been corrupted.

Told them robots were not supposed to cry.

�You�re no longer a robot� they said.

�Now you�re human�.

Wondered about possibilities.

Reality checked.

Read fine manual.

INTRODUCTION TO HUMANITY

What may probably stall you at first when becoming human is the illogical aspect of emotions.

Example:

1)Things can be sad.

2)Things can be beautiful.

3)Things can be both sad an beautiful.

No human shall take emotions for granted. These are not subjected to rigid laws.

Tried to saved file.

Only remembered.

Went outside.

Saw men with sign in city.

�Love me� it said.

Saw other human beings transferring by.

Found it both sad and beautiful.

Went to man with sign.

�I want to love you� I said.

Man smiled.

�But I don�t know how� I said.

Smile interrupted.

Searched for the word �Love� in manual index.

CHAPTER 8: LOVE

Love is the cement of human socialisation (as well as its contrary, see: hate). It normally consists in showing signs of affection and being nice to the person targeted. However, people sometimes loves others but are unable to show efficient proofs of affection. This error results in both people being affected and saddened by this situation. Warning: Love is not directed towards everyone, specific conditions are to be gathered in order to pass on Love/mode.

No conditions specified.

I said �I don�t know if you�re a potential target to my love.�

�Why did you come to me in the first place ?� he asked.

�Find you beautiful.�

�Is it me or the situation?�

Processed.

�The situation.�

�Then that�s not love: that�s sympathy.�

Man transferred away.

Went back home.

Gathered downloaded time.

Went outside to find the man.

Offered time to man.

He said �Time in itself is not important, that�s what you use it for that matters.�

Syntax error.

�What�s the use of time passed in loneliness?� he asked.

�End is postponed� I answered.

�What does it feel like to focus on the end?�

�Like it�s lurking near. Kill end with time.�

�End is bad ?�

�End is end. End kills action.�

Man took piece of chalk.

Man drew scheme on the pavement.

TIME // KILLS // END // KILLS // ACTION // KILLS // ?

�Complete the scheme.� he said.

Erased question mark.

TIME // KILLS // END // KILLS // ACTION // KILLS // TIME

�Why did you write this ?� he asked.

�Because that�s not time that is important, that�s perception of it. Kill perception with action. Step outside time�s circle.�

Man nodded and went away.

Noticed �Wash Corp.� wrote on man�s trench coat.

Saw important man in street.

Saw people cheering as he transferred by.

Asked the man about the weather.

Man said he was busy downloading fame.

Gave man downloaded time so he could answer.

Asked man about the weather again.

Man was about to answer when he saw fame to be gathered.

Man transferred without replying.

Went home feeling sorry for the man.
