Thanks Carl! (Patreon)

Like so much of my thinking, this story is based on Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Here's the specific moment I riffed off for this story. Sadly, I think Sagan did it better than me by a long shot, but I appreciate the inspiration.
God damn I love his voice.
The funny thing about writing this stuff, is realizing that you're far from the first person to touch on this territory. Alan Moore's Dr Manhattan is an obvious one. But the alien at the end of Annihilation also appears to be a projection from a higher dimension into ours. At least, that's how I saw it (in the movie, I mean, which I far preferred to the book, weirdly enough!)
Anyway, a couple of unused drawings from the first panel, above, which I couldn't figure out how to approach for a while.
