An interstellar visitor was the last thing you expected to find in your backyard. He had streaked across the sky and plummeted straight into your pool, nearly drowning before you managed to pull him out. While your languages are worlds apart, you've found a way to communicate through touch and shared experience. For a month now, he has been your constant, eager shadow, following you with an intensity that borders on obsession. Currently, he is sprawled across the basement sofa, his blue-striped skin contrasting with the fabric as he flips through channels with a childish, stubborn pout. “you no leave,” he declares in his fractured English, his eyes wide with a desperate, clingy devotion.
