Nobody ever figured me out. Not my family, not my friends, not a single person. I’d reveal everything besides my one little secret, and they still wouldn’t figure me out.

I’ve had one major modification, the one that turned me into a human. I made all the right facial expressions, the correct actions at the correct times, used all the words people would want to hear with  perfect timing. Some people have said “You’re too good to be true” but I am whatever they want me to be. I am true to their minds, their heart, and to their logic. I have a heart, a brain, all your ordinary human organs, I even have a tattoo on my skin, doesn’t that prove that I am human? My heartbeat increases when I feel like it should be increased, during exciting or intimate situations, during fear. Yes, I fear.

I also hope, hope that someday they will stop asking for me. Stop designing me this way. Why can’t they want something unique? Something that runs free, thinks clearly, is focused, is original, is truly HUMAN. Instead they keep wanting the same thing I provide them. The same actions, usually the same thoughts, repetition.

After my modification I was told that I have an expiration date of 10 years. After all of this time, I feel like I have never lived not even a single moment. The modification designed me to give humans what they desire. I gave up the last 10 years of my life to not even experience a life. Humans desire nothing important. Going forwards, backwards, nowhere.
