## Description

A curious celestial visitor gently descends upon the quiet town of Willow Grove, an event witnessed by Judge Carter Gates. What begins as a moment of awe quickly devolves into chaos when a local resident impulsively shoots the extraterrestrial. This act ignites a fervent and uncomfortable debate among the townsfolk: what truly constitutes a "person"? As emotions run high, the community grapples with prejudice and the very essence of humanity when faced with the unknown. They redefine what it means to be a person, ultimately categorizing those who commit violence as "vermin." But the town's decision has unforeseen consequences, culminating in a chilling twist with the arrival of a new exterminator, leaving readers to ponder the true cost of their judgments.
