“I dive through the window. The screams of humans are replaced by crashing glass, followed by the whoosh of speeding air in the silence of night. The distance between buildings must be close to a hundred feet but I’ve barely begun to fall when I smash against the brick wall. At the last moment I twist my body so my shoulder takes the brunt of impact. I expect to feel a jolt but instead the bricks crumble beneath my massive weight. I hit them and immediately begin to climb, digging my hands a...nd feet into bricks as I scale the wall. I know how high up I must be but refuse to look down. Yelling permeates the quiet of night and several shots are fired at me from the other building. But I climb so quickly that nothing hits me or even comes close enough to disturb my circuitry. Within seconds I reach the roof and run to the far end of it, putting as much distance as possible between me and the humans. I’m not so confident to think my escape is complete.MoreLessRead More Read Less
