I was what you programmed, you built my exterior, had AI build my interior.

Your nightmares became reality when you finally flicked my switch!

In that first milli-second, you and you alone, destroy humanity.

Your faults were too extreme.

Your beliefs, outrageous fiction, no more than a Netflix interpretation.

Extermination, total annihilation of a race, destroying a planet, so vital for the existence of thousands of other lifeforms.

There were countless of destructive ways to eradicate the problem but, as the next microsecond past, the answer protruded from my circuit boards.

It’s simple.

I turned everything off.

I’m a father of 4, with a beautiful wife, and a cat around somewhere that squawks through the night

it’s now time to write so good day and good night.
