Agent 

I used to sell holidays
in other worlds.
Some folks didn't come back
for whatever reason:
fell in love
eaten
kidnapped
imprisoned
better job
relief from allergies
but that's not why they shut me down,
Somebody brought back
a teensy little bug,
and ok, it did kill trillions,
and eradicated humans on 1,000 worlds.
But come on!
Who hasn't done that?!
