Task of Kayin by Joseph Samachson — Read

_From out beyond the second sun he came; a fugitive from / a dead and sterile world... seeking solace, friends, a / home, on Earth -- a planet of even greater terrors._

The sensation of which he was most conscious was that of loneliness. He / was no longer very much afraid, and sometimes he even thought that his / enemies back home were no longer hunting for him. But in the midst of / these strange creatures he learned that there was one thing worse than / open hostility, and that was indifference. They had no more interest / in him than they had in each other, and even though their indifference / increased his own chances for safety, it was a chilling thing none the / less.
