You raise your weapon to fire first, but all you see is a grin on Oglark’s (that’s his name, which he would have told you had you not been such a jerk and tried to shoot him) face. He’s much faster than you. He shoots you and you drop to the ground, dead.

I’d explain how it’s better to be nice and to work with people (or aliens) that are different than you, but you’re dead and it wouldn’t do any good explaining that to a dead person. So, good luck in the afterli fe and all.

Your story is over
