The Unseen Guest

In the intimate setting of a steamy bathroom, the alien Zylar becomes an unseen guest in Amelia’s world. As she showers, unaware of the observer behind the swirling blue curtain, his cloaked form is pressed against the wall, his night vision piercing the misty air. Every move she makes, every hum and gesture, draws him in with a strange, almost magnetic curiosity. He’s a creature from the stars, yet here he is, captivated by the simple elegance of a human routine. His heart—or the Kaelean equivalent—races as he maneuvers to avoid detection, his advanced technology flickering in the humid air. The irony of the situation is not lost on him: a being of superior intellect and technology, undone by the unexpected intimacy of a shared shower. As Amelia finishes and leaves the room, Zylar is left with a lingering sense of both relief and disappointment, his mind racing with thoughts of this fascinating species he’s only just begun to understand.
