I Got Caught Staring at My Alien Coworker—Her Reaction Was Completely Unexpected

Описание: #audiobook #scifistories #alienwoman
When a human technician is confronted by his alien colleague about where his eyes keep wandering, he braces for anger and consequences. What he gets instead challenges everything he thought he knew about cultural differences, respect, and the walls we build around honesty.

🌌 Step into a story where awkwardness becomes understanding...
Ethan Cross thought he was being careful. Thought he was maintaining professionalism while working alongside Sera Vhenna, a Kyralith engineer whose species' different approach to clothing and bodies has been causing him significant internal panic for months. But when Sera corners him in a supply corridor and asks point-blank why he keeps staring at her chest, Ethan's careful professionalism collapses into mortified stammering. He expects anger, complaints to station command, maybe deportation back to Earth. What he doesn't expect is curiosity.
Sera isn't offended—she's confused. Her species has completely different cultural concepts around bodies, privacy, and what humans call "modesty." What Ethan thought was him failing to hide inappropriate behavior, she interprets as him struggling with cultural programming he doesn't know how to overcome. The awkward confrontation becomes something stranger: an honest conversation about the vast gulf between human and Kyralith perspectives on physicality, respect, and the bizarre ways different species navigate shared spaces.
This is a story about the discomfort of examining your own assumptions, the surprising relief of honest communication, and how two people from literally different worlds can build genuine friendship by choosing vulnerability over avoidance. It's about unlearning conditioning, about the difference between intention and impact, and about how sometimes the most alien thing isn't someone else's body—it's your own culturally-trained reactions to it.
