THE BRIEF ONES — The Quill Archive

THE BRIEF ONES — the Quill Archive keeps a page for every species it has observed, and this one is ours: five columns of an alien vertical script on pressed fibre, a linguist's gold marginalia, a revision rail of 2,000 hands in 1,100 years, and a status field that has just changed. A cinematic FUI scene from SCENESCAPES Channel 50.
