CLOSED FOR JUDGING
Robots, cyborgs and androids are all people, too. For this contest, all you need to do is write a story either surrounding or containing a character (or multiple) who is a robot, a cyborg, an android or something pertaining to that.
ROBOTS
Beings who are entirely mechanical and have no organic parts. Usually they are guided by a computer program or electronic circulatory system.
(e.g. EVE from Wall-e or C3PO from Star Wars)
CYBORGS
An organic / living being who also has mechanical or cybernetic components, often to extend physical abilities beyond normal human limitations.
(e.g. Bucky Barnes from Captain America: Winter Soldier or John Silver from Treasure Planet)
ANDROIDS
A robot that has been designed to replicate a human or organic being physically, but is otherwise entirely mechanical.
(e.g. Astro Boy or Edwin Jarvis from Marvel Comics)
