Humans
#WritcoStoryPrompt45
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from The Night Slowly Came by Kate Chopin:

I am losing my interest in human beings; in the significance of their lives and their actions. Someone has said it is better to study one man than ten books. I want neither books nor men; they make me suffer…for humans have to be one of the most selfish beings I've ever seen,only caring about their own wants and needs, not caring who they hurt in their endless pursuits
I always catch myself wondering, what was the purpose of mankind? Who thought of creating such a needless species and why?
Nevertheless, I choose to isolate myself from them for I don't have the energy nor the will to be around humans anymore nor do I feel like I'm one of them. I must have been meant to be something else but got trapped in the Human body by pure mistake. It is because of such that I choose to stand by my decision. humans do not interest me, they repulse me, humans do not need my energy,they need rather be without it as I don't need nor desire their company.
