Refugee (bp coyle)

I needed somewhere to hide out and I needed it fast.

My brother suggested Earth. I had not heard of it but he showed me some nice pictures. He told me he knew a few people who had taken shelter there and who could help me settle in.

That was three years ago now and I think I am starting to get used to it. My brother’s contacts got me fake papers and found me a job serving coffee. Always best to remain low key, not draw any attention.

The trip here and the false i. . set me back almost all that I had stolen but at least I am safe.As safe as can be expected.

It’s an okay planet. Every bit as pretty as the photographs had suggested. Very primitive as far a technology goes, which suits me fine. It has a choice of climate and settings to keep most happy.

The only problem is the underlying hint of fear on everything, everyone.

There is so much violence, war, destruction, hatred. Like nothing I have experienced anywhere else in the galaxy.

It breaks my heart to see what they are doing to their world and each other.
