Sure, we're all made of starstuff. But some forms of space dust are, well, absurd. When the not-so-next door neighbors turn out to be too distasteful to contemplate, there's only one solution: pretend no one's home.

"They're Made Out of Meat" is included in Terry Bisson's quirky and brilliant collection, Bears Discover Fire and Other Stories.
