Chapter 3: Sleeping in the Park

Written by: Kaleb Fabsik (KrazyKaleb)

Sleep came gradually and was appeasing that late afternoon in the park. I didn't know why I decided to sleep in the park. But anywhere except near the car explosion was going to satisfy me right now.

For a man with a low paying part time job at a electronics repair shop. I was pretty pathetic to most people. Using things I found in junk yards along with leftover pieces from my workshop at work. I would fix them up for fun at my house. Scavenging through old HD televisions, DVD players, old computer mother boards and the like. Then afterward I would go to the public library and read about how to make my own computer and how to fix them along with TV's and DVD players. I eventually got to the point where I made my own computer and did my research on the Internet there. Passionate would be the word to describe how I love electronics.

Being a volunteer I would do as nice favors for my friends and neighbors around the city. Like fixing there TV's and Palm Pilots and iphones.

Electronics was my life and at the time I felt that computers would lead the world into a new peaceful and prosperous world. My love for electronics made me recently fall in love with the movie: Meet the Robinsons. It was yet another movie that inspired my ideas for the new and extraordinary things in life. My parents felt that I had a gift in world. Which was my great ability to improvise when I would make or fix something out of literally nothing. My mother loved it when I could fix the television using only a soldering gun and any piece of wire or metal to fix it. CD players, cars, DVD players, computers, TV's were very easy to grasp. But unfortunately they never really had the money for me to pursue it in school. So I mostly thought of it as a hobby.

So to get ahead with my entrepreneur like personality I moved out of my parents house to a new neighborhood. There in a new environment I learned about mathematics and calculus on my own. Scientific theories were always a fun thing to solve and failure was always an opening to new learning and discovery. With that in mind recently I think I had a breakthrough that nobody would believe possible. I was in fact getting ready to patent my initial proto-type design for the product I created too. But I had yet to put anything in writing.

Still laying on the bench I started to dream about old camping trips and fun adventures with my family long ago. The smell of fresh air along with the trees. Those were the days where I would be running with one of my old child hood friends playing Star Wars.

My relaxing thoughts were only to be suddenly stopped as I awakened to a sudden grab of my clothes! I was being dragged along the grass of the park in the night. I yelled for help to only be hit in the face, with what felt like a piece of metal. What the hell was going on? What did I do to deserve this? I looked around as I was being dragged to attempt to find a face of the person who was dragging me through the dark. The only thing I saw was a dark shadowy figure that was blurred and what seemed to be blue inferred lights looking at me. The same ones I saw when the neighbor girl got blown-up in front of my house. Or at least, what I thought was a girl.

“Oh God! Help me!” I quickly prayed to god for help out of this situation. My face started to feel swollen from being hit with the piece of metal. “What are you?” I gasped in a teary eyed moan.

“A Scary Robot.” was the female's unemotional voice I heard in reply from the gleaming blue eyes as I was thrown into the automobile.
