| Jun 25, 2017 at 20:01 | comment | added | Winchell Chung | That sounds familiar. Story was originally written in a Eastern European language and translated into English. Alien thought skyscrapers were a type of plant. Thought cars went to sleep when their headlights went dark. Described humans as an egg shape on a square trunk. | |
