Thehybridchildren

Chapter 1

Growing up among the stars

The hybrid children come from mixing humans and Greys. There are hundreds of thousands of them, and for now most live on spaceships. One day, they'll move here.

Chapter 2

Humans 101

Their main subject is us. How do humans live, talk and get along? They practice in virtual reality first. Like a college course, it goes 101, 201, and now 301.

Chapter 3

Names that start with A

Most belong to the "alpha generation", so many pick names starting with A, like Ariel or Augusta. Many have no name yet. After landing, they'll take names from nature.

Chapter 4

Eleven, thirteen, or all grown up

Time is flexible for them. One hybrid, Alahio, appeared as an 11-year-old girl, a 13-year-old boy and a grown man. Some have kids of their own, yet visit as children.

Chapter 5

Teachers of every kind

Essassani kids, from a gentle hybrid world, help train them. One teenage hybrid reads stories to the little ones, like a kindergarten teacher. Humans teach them too, often in dreams.

Chapter 6

Between two worlds

They're grateful to be alive, but caught between two worlds. They feel the love their human families send, always. Learning what to do with it is their homework.
