Really gorgeous work. There's an immaculate sense of place and attention to small gestures, as well as an offbeat sense of humor in the dialogue that reminds me of better Sandman stories.
This was incredibly cool! I love how you've characterized the alien stranger. They're scary but in a fun, fickle, capricious sort of way... I don't get the sense that there's malice behind it, and that makes them so much more compelling.
I admit I did have to sneak a peek at the hint document to get the final ending. It pleases me to no end that stoking their curiosity is the way to convince them to spare you - it was the exact impression I'd gotten from their character!
Just realized you were also behind Just Dumb Little Dances! I really loved the use of the camera there as well. Excellent job making the most of the limited assets!
