#106 King of Ink
They came in stages. First there was just one ship. Seemed harmless at first. We sent in our best and brightest to communicate with them. They claimed to be just passing through. Then more of them showed up.
A decade later and we’re still unsure what they want from us. Government officials suggest we remain calm, but since their arrival no one has died. Normally we would be thrilled at the prospect of immortality, until overpopulation turned rational men into territorial tyrants.
There just isn’t enough space for us all. Tomorrow we start boarding their ships for a new planet.
