      Short Story Collection - Rickel Steyar

      This book is dedicated to you, dear reader.

      I hope you enjoy reading these short stories!

      Midnight in the Stable

      Chapter 1: A Night Among the Horses

      Under a moonlit sky, a young wanderer named Emily found herself seeking shelter on a stormy night. Exhausted and drenched from the rain, she stumbled upon an old stable on the outskirts of a small village. Seeking refuge, she cautiously entered the dimly lit stable, her eyes adjusting to the rustic surroundings.

      As Emily surveyed the stable, she noticed a group of horses huddled together, seeking warmth and solace from the storm. Their gentle eyes conveyed a sense of trust, and Emily felt a glimmer of comfort amidst the chaos of the night.

      One horse, a majestic black stallion named Midnight, stood apart from the rest. Sensing Emily's presence, Midnight approached her with cautious curiosity. Emily reached out, her voice trembling with weariness, Hello, beautiful creature. We find ourselves in similar circumstances, seeking shelter from the storm.

      Midnight's deep eyes seemed to understand, and he nuzzled against her palm, providing a sense of companionship and reassurance. Emily, grateful for the solace the horses offered, found solace herself among the stable's humble inhabitants.

      Chapter 2: The Robot's Revelation

      As the night progressed, a peculiar sound reverberated through the stable, startling both Emily and the horses. It was a mechanical hum, growing louder and more distinct. The stable door creaked open, and a robotic figure emerged, its illuminated eyes scanning the surroundings.

      Emily, wide-eyed with astonishment, stammered, Who... or what are you?

      The robot, with a toneless voice, responded, I am designated as C.R.A.I.G., a Cognizant Robotic Artificial Intelligence Generator. I am here to fulfill my final mission: to document the end of the world.

      Emily's heart skipped a beat, and she exchanged
