Description
He'd escaped the hunters, now he wandered the empty streets looking for a friend, the only thing a synthoid truly wanted, someone who wanted him and whose affection would disable the tracker and self destruct.
As he passed a darkened shop window he caught sight of his reflection, a dull golden glow was visible coming from his naval, through the green satin of his shirt. Hands trembling he unbuttoned it to his belt and looked mournfully as the glow slowly brightened. Agents must be nearby and his self destruct had begun to activate.

A hissing sound broke the cold silence of the night. He started and looked over the street, a handsome blond man was gesturing for him to come over. 'Hey, buddy! Over here!'
The synthoid, still clutching his glowing stomach stared at him, did this man want him? Had he found a friend? Someone to bond with? Someone to save him? Or was it too late, was he about to become a pile of ash?

You decide, dear reader. Feel free to continue the story in the comments. I'm always interested to hear what you think.
