Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Summary
"A woman, barefoot, wild, and free stands on a beach in the early morning. Her heart shaped lips are split into a grin, freshly brushed teeth wine-stained and minty. Her hair billows like a sail in the beginnings of the morning light, tan skin growing golden as the sun crawls up over the horizon like a bug on a window. She stands not alone, but with a young boy, with a matching smile and small, chubby hands. They're both breathing heavy, but comfortably as they pause in their pursuits of the shore. They only pause for a moment, before suddenly, the little boy takes off again, and the mother hollers before her laughter mixes with the air of the morning sea."

Ryland Grace's major life events always seem to involve the sea in some way. Child of the waters, he is.
A little character study prose piece that I couldn't help but write, because his ocean motif is one that drives me absolutely nuts.(thank you to cedar (cedardivine here on ao3!) for beta reading this piece!)
