Centrio


James Cremer


(1998)


There is a planet called Centrio where the best thing a Centrion, that is what a citizen of Centrio is called, can hope to be in life is a sprout farmer. The Centrions have no concept of money, in fact they share all they have and live in peace.
One day a batallion of strange creatures from a far off planet land on the Centrio and immediately ask to be taken to the emperor of the planet. The Centrions have never had a leader and do not even know what the word means. Soon, the Centrion population is enslaved by this group of invaders.
The Centrions greatly oppose being enslaved and even detest slave labor. Now that they realize that what they have been doing all their lives has been slave labor, they refuse to work.
The planet soon starved to death because they were arrogant slaves.
So it goes.
Peace.
The End
