Cosmocracy

By Ethan Sarem

A human invasion of an alien race is still an alien invasion.
But this isn’t just any alien race… It is one which passes for human, Homo differentia!

Homo differentia defends against human invasion, leaving humans extinct.
They become the dominant species, turning our world into their colony.

Homo differentia has grey skin and black eyes, what you’d expect of an alien…
However, these are not aliens we’re talking about.

Homo differentia possesses godlike power and godlike wisdom, what we could never achieve.
They come in peace, and do not conquer or enslave other races… But we do.

We will never know what could have been, but we will know the world of Homo differentia.
He is one of them, and he is who we follow throughout this story.

He is created in a laboratory, one of exactly 1,000… But he is one of a kind.

The powers locked within must be unleashed, in order to mimic the alpha…
Can it be done?

1. Dominant Species: The Human Extinction

A world without humans sounds dystopian,

but what if it were utopian instead?

I ask you myself

If you’re reading this, Earth is no longer ours…

I wish I was kidding, but I’m not one to kid

In the near future we discover an alien race dwelling here, undetected until we detected them

They come in peace,

contrary to alien-invasion movies…

The same can’t be said for humans

A human invasion of an alien race

is still an alien invasion,

for humans are the aliens here

The alien race defends itself against invasion, leaving humans extinct in the process… Oh, dear

In short order humans are extinct,

and in short order the alien race

becomes the dominant species

No sooner do they become dominant species

they clean up the mess humans made them make

…You think I’m kidding when I say that? Hah! These aliens come in peace, but we don’t

They defended themselves

against human invasion,

a proper reason to fight a common enemy

It should be noted these aliens can pass as human, the resemblance is uncanny… But not quite

Though they mimic humans in shape and sapience, they’re different compared to them as well

The differences trademark to them define identity, though they’re more like us than you’d think

These aliens can pass as human,

the resemblance is uncanny…

But they’re different than us

This is evidenced by binomial nomenclature, sounds familiar yet foreign… Homo differentia!

Nomenclature suggests they’re related to humans, but in what way is confined to conjecture

They could be a human subspecies,

an alien-human hybrid,

or maybe a different breed of human

How they’re related to humans

is confined to conjecture, as I’ve stated…

What do you think?

Regardless of what you or I think,

don’t forget to fathom the facts…

Wordplay at its finest

Ignorance is never bliss,

contrary to cliché conveying ignorance is bliss… Know what I mean?

As I’ve stated,

Homo differentia resembles humans uncannily… But they’re different than us

What tells them apart is grey skin and black eyes, trademark to identity… May I explain them?

Grey skin is tactilely identical to human skin,

not that you’d touch it… But at least you know

Grey skin is also a symbol of how proficient

Homo differentia is in their powers, what are they?

Now isn’t the time to talk about that,

because now I’m speaking about

grey skin and black eyes

What I can say, dark-grey skin is a status symbol among Homo differentia… A sign of reverence

But I should also mention

reverence is something earned and not given, Homo differentia knows

Black eyes lack discernible iris or pupil,

and they do not blink…

Like a void, they always stare

They’re protected by a membrane

thick enough to touch, one over each eye…

I advise against it

Touching these membranes is a sign of disrespect, possibly a sign of provocation… I warn you

Homo differentia can and will defend themselves against provokers, though they come in peace

…Does it sound paradoxical they adhere to pacificism yet defend against provokers? Maybe

They do not defend themselves

without proper reason,

if they or their species are threatened

They do
