Prompt Project #52: “Mommy? Have you seen a human?” “Of course not, they’ve been extinct for 2000 years.”
“No influence of ours can save your species from destruction. Nothing could save it but a profound change in your own nature; and that cannot be. Wandering among you, we move always with fore-knowledge of the doom which your own imperfection imposes on you. Even if we could, we would not change it; for it is a theme required in the strange music of the spheres.”
― Olaf Stapledon, Last Men in London
