The Last Human

There was a time when I thought everything would be all right, when I thought the war might end, but I have come to realize how wrong I was to ever believe that. The war will never end for we humans will never give up our freedom, our choice, our free will. Time and again we have been beaten but we will never stop resisting those who seek to repress us because it is not in our nature to peacefully surrender. We are fighters, soldiers and warriors. We will fight for all eternity if necessary to safeguard the things that matter to us the most, but I pray it shall never come to that. My people have begun dying, a slow torturous death.
My foolish hopes were never realized and I must ensure that there will be someone who survives to see that justice is done for humankind. We humans don't live long enough, so we will never be able to see that justice is done ourselves. Our only choice is an experiment proposed before we even knew there were other species out there. This experiment would allow one child to survive this disaster, one child to tell our story and make sure that our deaths our not in vain. We can only hope that it works, that it doesn't destroy the child or cause us to defeat ourselves. That would have been smarter of our enemies you know, if they had pitched us against each other rather than an alien threat because we have been warring amongst ourselves for centuries and they did for us what we could never do for ourselves. They united us against them but they have caused our destruction. The child will be sent offworld to live and survive in safety. She will be an orphan on an alien world. I hope she makes it and I hope that she fulfills everything we wish her to. Her life will be difficult but we have no other choice.
