Well,
Friend.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that:
Uncanny Valley Effect?
Yes,
In fact –
Cryptids like me,
Operating at leviathan scales –
Sizes of some planets.
Well,
We condense ourselves down.
Squeezing our aura,
Self,
Power,
All.
Into these glamours you see before you.
Illusions of human selves.
We adapt them to our liking,
Of course.
Projecting directly into the psyche –
Appearance,
Even a sense of touch.
You could trace fingers across our skin.
Not that it really exists,
Outside your perception.
How else do you think we’ve survived,
For such a long time?
Hiding in plain sight.
That’s all.
Uncanny Valley Effect.
