Doctor Seska was a kind, brilliant man. He was a surgeon by trade and a genius
otherwise. Thomas, Dr. Seska’s android whom he named after himself, stood patiently
over his shoulder as Seska fiddled with surgical equipment. The Doctor’s soft hands gently brushed and
scrubbed and disinfected the tools. He was
drying his hands when a knock sounded from the door.
“Ah!
That must be our client,” Seska said, “Thomas, will you please put away the
tools while I answer the door?”
The
android responded with a simple, “Yes.”
Dr. Seska slowly walked to the door and opened it with a
cheerful smile. A man quietly walked in
and the two exchanged pleasantries. The
Doctor’s pure white hair made it impossible for someone not to admire and trust
him.
Seska
escorted the man to a chair and proceeded to ask him about his condition. The man was a regular customer. In the corner, Thomas watched in silence.
When the patient left, Thomas and Seska cleaned the office. The lights went off and the two drove to the
apartment.
