Rise of the Planet of Computers

An artificial-intelligence-horror short.

A simple program to give the addition of two integers was written in C.
The software had no bugs, the hardware was sophisticated and pretty much perfect, and the program in itself was a hundred percent error-free.
The two required integers were fed in by a user; 4 and 7 respectively.
The program gave 16 as the sum.

PS: For those of you who didn’t catch on and are wondering why I claim this to be a horror story, here’s a hint: To err is human.
