Android Shop

Amber sat in the back of the store, peeking out at the main room when people came in. She brushed her hair from her eyes, her black ears twitching on top of her head as she heard the voices of little kids. Unintentionally whimpering, the sound had caught the attention of the couple of children that came in. She backed away further into the corner where she stood as they came toward her. They seemed to be laughing if, at nothing else, the fear in her eyes and the way her ears flattened against her head. They only left her alone when their guardian called them over to leave. She sat down in the corner, pulling her knees up to her chest. She hated the fact that she was an android and yet she was so terrified of children, of all things.
