Sloan & Arty - The Boy and His Companion Bot | Part I
Into a pile of rusting machinery parts fell Sloan. Hard.
“Scurry off, midget, or we’ll beat ya to a pulp!”
Still reeling from heavy punches, Sloan bit his tongue to stop the tears from flowing. “Give me some time.”
The Avenue 33 gang shook their robotic arm fists at him menacingly. “Yeah, because you’re so useless you can’t even run,” sneered the group of five older youths as they sauntered away.
He just lay there in the darkness. Whilst snatching breaths through bruised ribs, Sloan thought that as from the dung heap he came, so to the dung heap he returned. The dung heap was where he was born and lived his life; it was all that he had ever known.

Loved the art and loved the short story. Keep up the good blogging my dear.
@jonsnow1983 Aww THANK YOU! It means alot to me (((:
Bullies with robotic arms...sounds like a very realistic future. Living in dung heaps...even more realistic. Looking forward for the next post :P Can't wait for Arty to show up. The name looks cute hehe.
@lilacse Hahaha we imagined it to be a dystopian future world! (It would sure be scary if our world descended to that though.)
Thank you! ((: Arty the bot. Hehehe
