Father

A man walked into the room.

"R4d37726, shutdown," He said.

Shawn, or R4d37726 stopped and shutdown. That wasn't Shawn after all. The man could tell I was surprised and knew I wanted an answer but he didn't look like the type of person to just tell you.

"Give me Shawn, the real Shawn, right now!" I yelled.

"Well then, you've come a far way, I've see you need answers and here will give you the answers you seek. He was taken from you when he was way too young and caused a terrible tragedy with your mother, trust me, it hurts me too, you deserve what you came here for. I'll show you what you came here for. It is me, your brother. I am Shawn."

He could tell at first I didn't believe him, because I didn't understand how he could be older than me.

"Shawn, it's really you? I've missed you so much. Dad is gonna be so happy to see you," I said as I hugged him. He hugged me back for a long time.

"I know what happened to Mother, and I bet you knew her more, so I want to give you something that belonged to her."

He handed me a small box. I opened it and there was a key inside.

"What's it for?" I asked.

"Mom's old work. I thought there might be something inside that reminded you of her."

"Oh, well thanks Shawn. You want to see Dad?" I asked.

"Yes, I do. I've wanted to see him for a long time now."

"We will have to go to the surface."

"Follow me," He said.
