Prompt: interview with...

part 3 of the series: 10 PH: Drabbles on Post-Human History


"What prompted you to document the recently-extinct Humans?"

"We so-called 'historians' are their nearest genetic descendents. Their story is OUR story.

"We are compiling a library of 100-word essays--or 'drabbles', as they were known--for posterity's sake."


"What makes you qualified?"

"History is always told by the winners...in this case, the survivors. Precious few even write anymore. Though it may seem archaic and old-fashioned, we still use the Old Language--including historic grammar and proper, unabbreviated words."


"Just one more question, Sir. Why is it even relevant, to remember the Humans?"

"Son, we don't dare to forget them."
