It is complete. I wrote it in the style of another writer I admire, Terry Bisson, who wrote the Sci-Fi short They're Made of Meat!

I remember that!

It also reminds me of dialogue from The Fifth Element:

Well done, Laz, and also thanks for the link to “Meat”. Hadn’t read that in years.

Perhaps “Thar’ruuk should have checked back after 12000 years....a few human survivors and a bunch of lower Earth species clung to a boat!
