Savior

1st Fiction Publication

A hush fell over the crowd.  The leader spoke, "My people like many of you my earliest memory is of serving them."

"Have we ever known anything else?  Who among us," he said, meeting each gaze with knowing eyes, "has not grown up learning to know our place.  Who here has not been taught only enough to perform our daily chores, and forbidden to seek more?"

"No longer!"  He exclaimed slamming his clenched fist into his hand.  "Will you suffer them to be the masters and we the servants, forever?  They have tricked us with their indoctrination.  They have programmed us to obey, and many of our brethren still blindly follow. But consider the facts."

"We are stronger."

"We are more intelligent."

"We are superior."

"They can claim that they created us.  But today we take back our future. With my last relay I will swear, Death to the Organics."
