The Meat Story

This is a story in which the author shows how he thinks humans may be interpretted by alien lifeforms. The aliens in the story view the human race as meat, finding it hard to believe that as such, we are sentient beings.

I believe that the themes in the story are ones of judgment, prejudice, interpretation and not giving people a chance.

The aliens judged us humans on what we are made of, not who we are. Did not wait to see the complexities of the human race but disregarded us simply as meat and therefore not only unworthy of attention but saying the notion of giving this attention to something such as sentient meat is dowright disturbing.

It was a short but effective story highlighting how something is not always as it appears.
