Pet Humans. A completely normal concept on the planet Atarial—where towering aliens kept humans as pets, integrating them into their everyday lives.

Lucas was one such pet, owned by Fuu, a massive blue alien with a surprisingly gentle nature. The two had just moved into a new neighborhood, one that boasted something Lucas had never seen before: a human park.

It was a place designed entirely for humans—of all ages—to run, play, and relax. There were colorful playgrounds filled with laughing children, picnic tables with snacks and games, and a shaded lounging area for those who preferred quiet.

Lucas knew what humans were supposed to be—productive, tax-paying members of society. But honestly? He’d take this over spreadsheets and deadlines any day. If life handed you a field to play in, why fight it?

As they approached the park, Fuu gave Lucas a warm pat on the head and smiled. “Alright. Go play and make some friends.”

With a nod, Lucas felt the leash click free, and he wandered off, eyes scanning the park, looking for someone to talk to.
