The last paragraph is confusing me a bit. The main character says that other species (presumably including humans) are not recognized as sentient. So, when she says “What if you’re wrong?… You’ll be studied and held captive!” isn’t that the opposite of the case? Only if he is RIGHT will he be held captive. If he is WRONG, then he is in fact Burnian and when the doctor confirms that, there will be no reason to study or hold him captive. Does that make sense? I do like where this is going, though, and I look forward to learning more about this species. Lastly, you have a typo at the end “setnient” instead of “sentient”

yeah, fix that wrong to right
it seems like she watched his birth just now and he sits up, grown, and tells her he’s going to have himself checked out, lol! I suggest choosing an age for him, “i witnessed his birth 16 years ago..”
other than that, very intriguing idea.. looking at humans from another species’ POV.

No, if he’s wrong and he’s NOT human they’ll be exposed as not human etc. I was saying that common society were humans.

AND I don’t have any mroe room for any kind of anything otherwise I"d add an age.

Oh, I think I get it. It does wind up confusing, which is the downside to the character limit. I like the premise and the whole outside-looking-in sort of thing going on.

oh.. didn’t picture the outside world being human.. that changes things.. :)

Differs to the inside looking out. Good idea!

Reminds me of the Krikkiters from Hitchhikers’ Guide to The Galaxy.
