Short Story

">(From OMNI, April 1991. This story, which was a 1991 Nebula nominee, has been appearing around the internet lately without my name attached. Several people were kind enough to alert me, but the truth is I'm more flattered than offended. )

THEY'RE MADE OUT OF MEAT

by Terry Bisson

'They're made out of meat.'

'Meat?'

'Meat. They're made out of meat.'

'Meat?'

'There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat.'"
