The Way of the Future: Age of Machines(Completed)

Garfield

"Woman!" Garfield shouted.

The sounds of frantic steps echoed through the corridor.

Entering his work place was his wife.

Garfield was sat on his rocking chair drinking a bottle of wine. There were three other bottles of wine lying on the floor.

"Yes honey?" His wife asked him.

"Bring me another bottle, this one is almost empty, hurry!" He shouted again. After gulping the entire content of the bottle, he threw it away. The bottle miraculously did not shatter despite being made of glass.

His frightened wife ran across the corridor to give him another or else she'll be punished. Her punishment depended on her husband's mood and how drunk he was.

As she ran, she was shedding tear after tear yet she did not wail.

"This is no time for wailing!" She thought to herself.

She got back from their special collection of wine and bought with two bottles. The bottles were filled to the brim with powerful wine that her husband liked the most.

"Give me, now!" Garfield was impatient.

The wife trembled as she gave her husband his bottles. Gilfred proceeded to open the first bottle he got and continued on drinking.

His wife did not say a single word and left the room, holding back her tears and the pain she felt in her heart.

She went to the living room, there she was comforted by the mansion maids.

"Miss, are you alright?" One of the maids said as she gave the wife a warm towel.

"Yes, dear. I am fine, it's just, your master is stressed beyond compare at the moment" the wife assured.

"Miss, we can't let the master continue on hurting you! Last night I heard a crash upstairs and the next morning I saw your bruised leg!" One of the maids said.

"It is fine, my dear. I have you all to treat me whenever I get injured, is it not true?" The wife said.

"But miss, you are with a child! We cannot lose another one of the master's heirs"

The wife smiled and waved her hands.

"Don't worry, I am protecting my love. As long as my husband does not touch this womb of mine then there will be no problem. I will not let myself miscarry" The wife assured.

"How can we be so sure that you won't miscarry?" Another maid came in, bringing with her a cup of water. The maid handed the water to the wife and she drank it all.

The wife sighed and did not answer the maid's questions any further. She lied on the couch and stayed there. The maids watched over her as they heard the sounds of bottles being smashed across the halls.

"Our master has gone mad" one of the maids whispered.

"Please don't hold any resentment for your master... despite what he has become right now, always remember how he was back then" the wife suddenly said, tears began to form on her eyes. The maids noticed and immediately brought her a dry napkin.
