I had to get away!
I started across the floor. One of the guards yelled, 'Get back there!'
I ran across the room, bowled over a guard and ran out the door. I heard gun blasts and knew they were shooting at me. But the driving thought persisted:
I’ve got to get away!
There was another set of guards blocking the other door. It looked like I was trapped, until I saw a boom swing down. I grabbed it and was pulled over three hundred feet to the next landing. But it was no good.
There was a guard there. He shot at me. I felt all weak and dizzy ... I fell into a great dark pit ...
One of the guards took off his hat and scratched his head.
'I dunno Joe, I just dunno. Progress is a great thing … but that x-238A … Denny Phillips, name ... they'
re great robots ... but they go haywire, now and then, and it seems like they was looking for something ...
almost human. Oh well.'
A truck drove away, and the sign on its side said: ACME ROBOT REPAIR'.
Two weeks later, Denny Phillips was back on the job … blank look in his eyes. But suddenly...
His eyes become clear … and, the overwhelming thought comes to him: I'VE GOT TO GET AWAY!!
