Alien
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Can you live off light?
Do aliens live off light?
Is that why they are sometimes small?
Why do humans get hunger pangs?
Why are we evolving into larger beings?
Why don't venus fly traps grow giant if they live off meat and there are more insects than cows?
Did we cocreate this contradiction with our light?
Are we already living off light?
Why are some races small still?
