The year I turned five, my father got taken out by a giant robot.\xa0I was present and I took it very personally. You honestly don\u2019t expect that kind of thing when you\u2019re a kid, not even if you\u2019ve seen the giant robot from a distance every day of your life and have been taught what random carnage the giant robot got up to.\xa0I had grown to that tender age knowing that the giant robot killed people at the rate of one a day. | Copyright 2020 by Adam-Troy Castro.
