Hey, the right answer is D
When the <em>two </em>ghosts appeared in my room, I was <em>too</em> shocked to move. I looked between them, back and forth, one<em> to</em> the other. They were standing, or well, sort of floating in a corner. Slightly shaking, I scooted backwards, pulling my bed covers up to my chin, <em>too</em> scared <em>to</em> do anything else. They didn't seem to notice me at first. Quickly and quietly, I slipped my toes out of bed, and snatched up my slippers. The <em>two</em> bunny noses stared back at me, and instead of putting them on, like I had originaly planned, BAM, I threw them as hard as I possibly could, maybe even <em>too </em>hard. I squeezed my eyes closed, thinking the worst, but when I cautiously opened them again, the <em>two</em> pale spectors who had been hovering in my corner had disapeared, never <em>to</em> be seen again.
Answer:
Author Terry Bisson's short story, which reads as a conversation between two extraterrestrials, first appeared in ''Omni'' magazine in 1990. When it opens, the two beings are talking about an encounter they've had with creatures (presumably humans) they've ''picked up from different parts of the planet.'' The first being is questioning the second about the makeup of these creatures and cannot seem to understand how meat could be capable of making - and using - machines:
''That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat.'' To be sentient means to have feelings or senses.
The first being simply cannot believe that anything made of meat could be thinking, feeling, or creating. The second being tells the first that they probed the lifeforms and everything - including the brain - is made out of meat. In fact, these suspicious creatures are ''...thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal!''
