A spaceship landed in the park. An alien emerged, holding a slate in a tendril.

"Greetings Earthlings," they read. "We have come to learn about this wondrous thing you call l..."

They paused, oculating the slate.

"Love?" a passing dogwalker suggested.

"Libraries! Do they exist?"

@MicroSFF I love that they are asking for Libraries. Thank you.
@MicroSFF
They do if you believe in them.
@coyoty @MicroSFF
Every time you clap your hands, a library somewhere gets a new LGBTQ book 
@MicroSFF Shouldn't that last response be "Yes exactly, Libraries! ..."
@MicroSFF I love the use of the verb "oculating". Perfect word for a being that has a tentacle.
