"What do you mean?" I asked.

He finished the bottle completely and placed it on the seat next to him. He stood up and slowly made his way towards me, taking long strides.

"You look human, you sound human" He paused and stood face to face with me.

"But what are you really?"

I decided the best answer to his question. "I'm whatever you want me to be, Lieutenant".
