Have you ever been to a place, maybe a forest or secluded beach, and been overwhelmed by a feeling of otherworldliness? Like the space around you was both of and separate from our world? I have, and it’s a feeling I try to hold on to when it happens. But, what if during these moments of in-betweenness you saw… something? A small figure, very small. Almost but not quite human, with backwards feet and without thumbs. Would you be afraid? Would you try to get closer?
