THE MOMENT
You're not supposed to date Humans.
They're prey, pets at best.
They're food, not romantic interests.
Would you bring a plate of steamed hams
home to meet your parents?
And think of the children!
Nine months of prep time is far too much
to spend on an appetizer or light lunch.
And what if it's born with a fin?
Human doctors have no sense.
They'll be frightened and panicked.
Once they learn we exist,
they'll imprison you and run their tests.
No matter which human you picked,
he won't prevent this occurrence.
