Others Among Us

Since the dawn of mankind, there have been extraterrestrial entities observing our development as a civilization from afar. They have watched as our knowledge and our numbers have grown, while still feeling the need to shield themselves, as our intolerance for those who are unlike us has kept us from evolving to a higher level of enlightenment. While entities of pure energy may possess the knowledge of the ages, having traveled the tides of time and space for millennia, even they are easily enthralled by the uniquely human temptation of touch.
Throughout the universe, the occurrence of entities who crave pleasure for pleasure's sake is extremely rare, and the desire to be immersed in that realm of hedonistic addiction has even led to the downfall of many who were once viewed as gods. While there are those who have no interest in humanity beyond the intoxicating sensation of touch, there are Others who have discovered an even greater temptation... Power.
As we live our daily lives, unaware of this sub-culture of entities who view the human experience as a recreational activity, we are often sucked into their inescapable vortex as they attempt to still their insatiable cravings, while living as Others among us.
