I had a moment within a few paragraphs where I was trying to imagine the specimen, and something in my mind went "I'd be really easily to visualize if the specimen were just people"
and then I started kicking myself because I started picturing them that way and I was like "oh no, I ruined the visualization of the story!"
Thanks!! 😁 I was trying to think how we would appear to creatures so incredibly different to us that they could barely detect us (and through sensory channels vastly different) and we could barely detect them. And I worried that I wouldn’t pull it off well, so I’m glad it worked!! Thanks for reading!!
