Twenty Three - North Carolina

My anxiety used to control me, from the moment I awoke the fear of having to face the world consumed my every thought. I knew how many douche bags I would face in my day if I chose to interact with society. Why are so many people consumed with their own accomplishments and experiences, they don't even listen to you when you're talking to them? We need to slow way the fuck down and appreciate each others' experiences and then add them in to our knowledge of what it is to be human. What do I know though, I'm not even human anymore, I'm just a robot. 

I heard a knock at the tent, Jeff entered. "So, how have you been adjusting to everything" ? he asked. "I guess I've felt pretty normal, surprisingly". I said. "Sit down, I want to tell you what our plan is here". he told me. "The plans for Project Air came to me in a dream one night, I was living in the mountains of North Carolina in a tiny shack". he said. "It was the worst winter I had ever experienced, the snow fell for days and I was trapped in the shack for twenty days, on the twenty first night I had a dream, a voice spoke to me and told me the entire scientific process of turning a human into a robot."  "When I awoke from this life changing dream in a cold sweat I heard a thumping sound coming from the wooden floors' boards."

"Upon hearing the sounds coming from the floor I lifted the board to reveal a tiny frog". he said. I did not like where this story was going. "Let me guess, did you follow the frog somewhere" ? I interrupted. "Yes, I did, how did you know" ? he asked.  "Oh, lucky guess". I replied. "Well, I followed this frog to the coat closet, it turned out there was a secret passage in the back, I followed the frog through the secret passage into a tunnel system which  lead me to the base camp here".  "Ever since the first night of the dream with the voice, I had been having the same dream, but different, amazing scientific theories and instructions on how to create these inventions every night, I assumed it was the voice of God, I did not question them for they were always right" he stated. 

"So you think that God wanted us to become artificial in order to show humanity what, I don't fully understand" ? I inquired. "That's the great thing about faith Tom, you don't have to understand it, you just have to believe in it, I believed in the voices in my head and it turned out they were right every time, they helped me build this entire complex, I had no knowledge of electrical engineering and scientific  processes." he said while spinning his straw hat around his index finger.  I was about to ask him another question when to my surprise my sister Jewel and her husband Crisco who was holding a shot gun to the back of my father's head appeared. "Don't move a muscle bitch, you thought you could kill me with a spider" ? shouted Crisco with a crooked grin.
