Changing Tactics: Humans Aren't Predators Anymore…

The two Gonstongasts posing as a human couple drove Eyvindur to his new home. The female posing as his adoptive mom was called Banyan (pronounced: bon-yawn), and the male posing as his adoptive father was called Kaden (pronounced: kuh-deen). Kaden drove the oversized, bright shape of metal humans referred to as a van down the dark, hard covering on the ground Banyan told him was a road.

As they drove down the road, Eyvindur looked out the clear piece of material on the side of the van and saw very large living establishments. These living establishments also had clear materials on them, and were decorated with various colors that Eyvindur marveled over.

As a Gonstongast, he only saw a select few colors, and now that he was human, so many more selections came into view, and he was stunned by all he could now see.

"Banyan, are we going to inhabit a living establishment like those over there?" He said, pointing out the window.

"Those establishments that you see outside are called houses, and yes we are!" She answered, turning back to face him.

"And when do I get to see the… house?" Eyvindur slowed, taking in and memorizing the new word.

"We will arrive shortly." Banyan replied, turning back to face the front of the van.

A red shape loomed ahead, with letters on the front. When the van neared that shape, it stopped.

"Why have we stopped?" Eyvindur asked Kaden, puzzled as to why they didn't just go on ahead.

Kaden answered, "In the human world, there are rules that protect people in vehicles. This red sign in front of us, also known as a stop sign, signals that we are to stop and let other cars pass in other directions. This keeps us from hitting those other cars."

"What other rules are there for cars?" Eyvindur asked, his interest climbing. He loved learning new things, and in the human world, there were endless things to learn!

"You'll learn soon enough! After you get accustomed to human life, you'll be able to get your permit, and learn to drive a car of your very own!"

"Really? Whoa, I can't wait!" Eyvindur was excited now! To be able to control a car of his very own would be an experience of a lifetime!

Eyvindur sat back and daydreamed about his future as a human. The possibilities were endless, and he was ready!
