This is my favourite Audible Original Story so far. I honestly desperately want to read this as a prequel to an intense first-contact sci-fi novel. I guessed the twist a little way in, but that didn't in any way lessen the impact. If anything, it made it more impactful because I was so sad as I read. This one I can absolutely see myself coming back to, with cinematic descriptions and a really interesting premise.
