Humanity
bullet | blood | fatal
“Please…” you whisper. You lie before me, your entire body trembling as your blood spills onto the concrete. You want me to take away your pain.
It was a deliberate shot from the robot. Those things know exactly where to lodge a bullet so it is fatal but slow. Well, they know everything about our anatomy and how we work; that’s why it was so easy for them to take over. You had always hoped for zombies, but we ended up with a robot apocalypse. Low on supplies, we were heading for this town’s grocer, but they had bet us. They had shot you but left me, perhaps wanting to evaluate my next move.
I lift my gun, but not to our enemy. I point it at you to fulfil your last wish and end your suffering. When I pull the trigger, I show the robots what humanity really is.

Prompt: Post-apocalyptic. I decided to go with an apocalypse that not many people tend to use: robots. Let me know what you thought!
