Inspired by the recent government revelations about the existence of extraterrestrial life. I've taken some creative liberties with exactly what aliens are capable of.

I believe what people get wrong about seeing cryptids is that the scariest part isn't their horrifying appearance, ugly though they may be--it's the realization that you are alone. You have to live with this life-changing knowledge while everyone else's worlds keep on turning. If you try to share what you know, people will laugh or think you're insane. It is a uniquely isolating experience.
