Many years ago, our spacecraft left the polluted earth for a cleaner home. We traveled far through the black abyss in between the sparkling dots. We went through a few generations of our society. Our future seemed long away yet there was massive hope. However, for humanity, hope was a lie. We always wanted more. We had engorged ourselves to excess. We ended up consuming our resources faster than we could replenish them. The paranoid of us, gathered forces, and a civilization floating in space went to war. The numbers dwindled down with the resources. Under a hundred of us left and we are all filled with one thought...Food!
 What I wouldn't give for some meat. I haven't had any since a week ago. When my neighbor Al, had served up his beloved pet cat, Ghastly. He had hid the cat from the rest of humanity for a long while, but he couldn't stand the hunger any longer. The cat went on the grill and served as an exquisite steak diner. Al being neighborly, let me in on the secret meal. Meat never tasted so good. Now there is no more signs of any sort of animal lifeforms. Either the few pet owners left are real good keeping them hidden or we have ate everything on four legs. I need meat...
 I wrack my brain for answers with my fist in my mouth. The taste of my skin against my tongue is somewhat soothing. Then it occurred to me, I am made of meat... humanity is made of MEAT! I quickly grab my knife from underneath my pillow, just in case of thieves. I think I will go visit Al for another feast. He wouldn't mind, he is always so neighborly...
