“Best thing about that girl is how much she takes after her daddy.
Worst thing is how much she takes after me.”
—Frances Brown
A dimension that may or may not have a name, making bad choices, which is pretty much par for the
course
Now, whatever that means
THE THING, WHATEVER IT was, had erupted from the ground in front of us
in a writhing mass of tentacles, sort of like the world’s largest sea
anemone. They could have all been part of the same massive, subterranean
beast, or they could have been unique individuals working in concert to ruin
my day. With most of the thing still buried, I had no way of knowing, and at
the moment, I had better things to worry about, like the fact that it was trying
to kill us.

The part of me raised to respect nature and appreciate the need of all
living things to participate in the great and glorious web of life wanted to
know more. Wanted to get right up to the edge of the hole and look down,
figure out the body plan and likely behaviors of the thing, determine whether
we were dealing with one or many—begin the scientific process at its most
basic. The part of me that has been surviving in hostile dimensions for half a
century said that part was being bog-stupid, and we should shoot the thing
until it stopped moving.
If there was something important here for us to learn, we could learn it
from the corpse. Lots of naturalists have worked exclusively from dead
things. It’s a time-honored tradition, and you know what it gets us? A lot less
dead naturalists, that’s what.
