The Owl People

Meanwhile, in Some Dimension…

We finally arrived at the museum where the owl people lived. We had all brought gifts for them, as it was typically polite to do so. Overwhelmed by the variety of objects, they rotated their heads completely and, ignoring our presence, kept them fixed toward their backs.

“The owl people feel comfortable when they are surrounded by things that remind them of their past,” the guide said. “They can only look back because they see no future,” she concluded.
