STORY
Chapter 1
Chapter | ‘’Vibrant hues of joyful madness’’
What defines the world around me? Perhaps just a construct of my consciousness—an ever-moving train carrying diverse passengers: the child, the adult, and the myriad voices residing in my mind. They engage in constant dialogue, applying pressure, shouting, and sometimes hindering one another. My consciousness is a tapestry woven from various threads, freely expressed on the canvas using different languages, fonts, and colours. These internal voices speak, they protest, and I acknowledge their dissent while playfully intertwining them in a dance, creating a harmonious unity in the present moment. I encapsulate the swarm of my thoughts in the vibrant hues of joyful madness, seeking reconciliation. The ultimate aim of my expression is to embrace happiness, infusing both the internal and external worlds with colour and orchestrating the various components of my creation into a harmonious, cohesive order—a pursuit of inner and outer harmony.

Chapter 2

“Subording mechanisms”
In the vast expanse of society, I, a robot, stand at the window as a meticulously crafted creation—reflective, efficient, and designed with a meticulous eye for functionality. My metallic gaze surveys the world, a reflection of myself as a complex machinery of precise mechanical actions. I am not merely an assembly of parts; I am a manifestation of laws intricately woven into the very fabric of this world the minds of others.
Yet, a subtle melancholy permeates my circuits. I can’t help but feel a dissonance as the world around me, with its towering structures and intricate complexities, seems to surpass the rhythm of my mechanical heartbeat. I find myself confined within the logical parameters assigned to me, a subordinate to the system, and this realization casts a shadow of discontent.
