Robbery (Short Story/Horror) When one has the promise of being able to live forever, it becomes easier to accept the masses of humanity through labels - good, bad, useful, parasite, bold, cowardly, predator, prey. It becomes more difficult when one is confronted with the reality of humanity - that sometimes the "bad" is necessary, the "parasite" provides for another, the "predator" has lost his way. And that's where Syd comes in.(Phase 5 Presents Volume 1 Issue 17; also included in the September issue of Phase 5 Monthly Review.)
