What a terrific story, @litguru. It's so good to see you in The Ink Well again!
I love how you add details and build the world for your story in subtle ways. There was so much information packed into these few sentences, for example:
Wouldn’t it be more advantageous to eat in silence? There must be a value to it, otherwise, the behavior wouldn’t exist. For all the artificial biology added to this moon, Darwinian rules are still in play.
Thanks for sharing the inspiration for the story. Very cool. We have very few sci-fi writers in The Ink Well. I hope you will inspire others!

Hi @jayna! I finally got my lazy butt to write some proper short fiction :)
I enjoy interpreting the research from animal behaviorists, though I feel their own accounts are infinitely more interesting because they're real. This particular researcher had to carry around carcasses to do his research so that was probably not pleasant 🤢
I hope more authors write some science fiction. It really is fun imagining the future. 😎
The images you used to illustrate the story were so perfect for the stark and interesting life on that planet.
In this story, I developed the theme first and then generated the images when I was writing the story. Sometimes I would notice something in the illustration that triggered an idea, so I incorporated it into the story. Visualizing ideas like this makes writing much more fun!
Wow, cool technique!
