Artist's commentary
When I returned home, I found something hard to describe crawling near my front door.
The shape of its head, shoulders and chest resembles a human's, but the rest of the body definitely isn't human at all.
It crawls around slowly, like an insect, and doesn't respond when I call out.
I don't know if it can talk or not, or even if it can understand my words.
Although I think it looks creepy, there is no way I can just leave it around my home.
I tried touching the creature, and it didn't react other than twisting slightly.
When I picked it up to carry it somewhere else, I noticed its body trembling.
It seems considerably weakened. Even if it wanted to resist, it just doesn't have the strength to do that.
After hesitating for a bit, I decided to help it, and stepped through the door carrying this "something" in my arms.
