The Last Boy
The last boy was a soft one and like everyone knew there's no room for softness in a world so cruel where the brutals reign. How to save a child who's in pain? Most of them found a way, a method not accepted but what to do if you do not even receive a lukewarm welcome?
She came from far away and travelled through time to save what was left of the present world, a place so different from the past she knows.
It was time to ship him, just like the albatross, to a resort where both could rest without being disturbed by a world filled with AI and robots in charge.
Although, humans aren't machines that doesn't mean they don't need energy to function well and need time to recharge.
She reached out to the sky and opened the gate and with a loud thunder, it did.
Off you go soft boy, she whispered, don't be late. The albatross will be your ship it's a loyal one and safe, better than that goose Nick Holgerson used to travel around his world.
She hugged him and waved goodbye after ensuring him he would love the place she was sending him to.
No worries sweet child your time will come in the second last resort you will never be short on anything and loved by all.
The boy, that very last boy who had lived on earth left with a kiss, a hug and a smile. He would never grow up and become a man since childhood is the best time of one's life and children can never have enough of that.
Her hand reached out to the sky again as she saw the saw boy leave on the back of the albatross the biggest duck that nature had ever created. He waved and she waved back, sent a kiss and closed the gates to heaven behind him.
Goodbye sweet child, from now on no more lukewarm welcomes may every wish you have come true. With the next lightning and thunder, the lady of the past was gone. One day she might return again if there's a reason to, a good one like saving the next latest inhabitant out of the hands of technology and AI from a future they find it hard to fit in.
