I pounded my fist into the red beanbag chair. This was the only thing that calmed my nerves in the door-less, cramped room I was in. Massive, thick walls surrounded me on four corners. I was only provided some playing cards for entertainment.

It’s been nearly two days since I made a deal with the newly formed Department of Forgiveness. They created a new repayment plan that assisted those who were in massive debt. The details were hazy, and I was forced to keep quiet about what was to happen. I was a quarter million dollars in debt from medical school. There was no way I would pass this up, especially in this shit economy. No one liked to hire humans anymore.

Why do I say that? Seven years ago, Earth was taken over by human-like beings from another planet. They talked like us and they looked like us. They were a perfect replica of our species.

Well, almost.
