Cryptid

Four minutes in and I knew I had made a colossal mistake. The humans were curious at first, peering at the novelty of the color of my eyes and texture of my skin. But their peers turned to prods, pokes, and pulls, and they were crowding me with ominous intrigue. The elders warned me of this and would surely exile me for revealing our existence. As I tried to slip through their grasping fleshy claws, a sea of fingers wrapped around my limbs and pulled me into the depths of their morbid exploration.
