Craterboys

Close Encounters with Strange Beings

Something spectacular has arrived, somewhere on our planet. Whether this visitor is violent, careful, peaceful, or calculating, it’s here. This landing draws a circle, real or metaphysical, around a corner of our world. At its center, something smolders. A cosmic émigré, an intelligence from another world, a protozoic mass. It fundamentally changes that in its radius—its crater. We are the craterboys, the ones who greet visitors. Into the circle we step.
