Originally published in 'All the Vacant Places'. I was sent here to find a voice box. I am one of many who have tried and failed, hunting this planet for something that does not belong to us. My people long to conquer, I long to be free. Their death gives me freedom, but it comes at a cost I did not anticipate. Left on my own, I may become something more dangerous, something more wild. This planet is alive and it's calling my name.
