    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    Grace tries copying the tones.

    Rocky hums. “Close. Skip first note.”

    “Why? You always include that.”

    “This means… of Rocky, possessive. Of the speaker.”

    “My.”

    “Correct. But only for names.”

    “So you’re calling me…?”

    Rocky repeats the word: “My Grace. Yes.”

    Summary

    I still think in Earth units sometimes, translating for the human that isn’t even here. Maybe it is subconscious, because if Grace were here, he would know how to figure out what happened.  

    Like how Taumoeba infected my ship.
