Robot Nurse

The robot came into my room unannounced, like it did every morning at 9.


"Good morning Mr Fargis! Ready for another fine day here at Grove Wells Retirement Home?"


Same damn script, same damn fake smile on fake damn lips.


I grumbled under my breath, which as usual was enough for the programming to continue to the next phase.


"We better head down go breakfast now, do you need assistance?"


"No."


The robot nodded and stood there, silent, as I slowly stood and began to head downstairs.


Only thing that could make it worse would be if they weren't humans.
