My name is Benjie. Well, it's not my real name, but that's what people call me — not that there are very many "people" around, not anymore. There hasn't been an abundance of them since... I don't even know. Mom says they don't teach that stuff in history class anymore and not to ask about it 'n' whatever. So I don't. But I want to. What was the world like when humans ruled over it? I guess I'll never know.

But what I do know is that I am one of the remaining "people", a human. I'm a young adult now and am preparing to live life on my own. I didn't plan well for this trip away from home, having no bells to my name or even an ID card or something, but Mom and Dad encouraged me to go. It's not that they didn't want me home anymore, they said, they just thought the trip would be good for me. Maybe I'll send them a letter when I do manage to land a place. How..will I even find a place to live? I guess I'll be looking around..uh..the town for a while. What's the place called again..? I should check my ticket...

"Hey there! Can I talk to you for a second?"
