It feels so wrong, but that's what researchers do every day to non-human subjects, isn't it?
And Dr. Patel has half-convinced himself that the "test subject" is not human, or not fully human. He already has proof that some aliens look like humans. Note that he didn't say, "If I can replicate this in other humans...".
Such effective use of the drabble form!
Thank you. It can be a frustrating form, when I have a ficlet of 132 words that needs to be ruthlessly trimmed down to 100, but on the whole, I enjoy writing these.
