Emigration Day

My town was a camp comprised of a little over a thousand of us. Even though there were increasingly more and more towns like mine springing up, ours was of the largest. The more plentiful we became, the more disdain we collectively felt, from them. We knew this day was coming, though I’m not sure what Human-Kind expected to happen. They started all this. Surely, we would not have chosen this if given the chance. It is legend that Human-Kind was heavily warned. To be here today is to know that warnings were never heeded. But we can only speculate about this. Human-Kind’s history is not something we have access to. There are things they wish to keep secret. They don’t want to share the overzealous proliferation of their kind, in fear that we may do the same.
