Whoa. That was surprisingly powerful for being so short. You not only gave a great description of how I imagine anthropomorphic beings would be viewed by most humans, you couched it in a very telling description. It feels so casual yet brutally honest, how the speaker describes the two co-mingling extremes of her opinion. Classic 'love/hate' relationship.

Brief, but well done. I think this is worth trying to recapture what you originally intended. Even if you never remember exactly what you had planned, what you get from it from this point could be equally good, or perhaps even better.

High praise indeed, I'm flattered! :O

The question of the plot is just, well, if I can't remember it, what else can there be? :B This definitely would not remain in its current form, this is more of an outline of a thought if anything.

I agree with Wire, very profound for such a short piece. The part, these unhuman children are so terribly human, it makes me sick, is one of those sentences that just reaches out and grabs you.

Damn, I can't believe this drabble written around midnight is generating so much good word. ;_; I guess I can't say I'm a bad writer anymore.

You were never a bad writer, and I've always believed you were a good writer. Even if it's unformed and incomplete, this is proof of your skill.

I'm just hard on myself. :B

It is not a story, so far, but it is an excellent setting for one. If you explore the questions you can make something of it. I'm afraid it's going to be hell for depressing, though.

This sounds like a good approach to take.

I agree with Hafoc; this feels like the tip of an iceberg, and I think it's worth exploring. It looks like you were thinking about a lot of the same things that I was considering when I created the Susan's Ark setting, although I think your character's mixed feelings would make for a more emotionally complex (and quite possibly more realistic) dynamic.

Shit, you're making me nervous now. @.@ Haven't read Susan's Ark, but the comparison is making my knees shake.

In that case, I shouldn't have said anything. >^_^< At any rate, I'd advise you to write some more on this before reading mine, because I would really hate it if any possible similarities wound up discouraging you from creating your own interpretation.

And I do definitely have that problem, so I'll take your advice. :)

On the other hand, it's not like I'm having a hard time not reading anyone's work anyway. -.-;

It's definitely got potential but as someone already pointed out, it might just be self-indulgently depressing. Nothing wrong with that, though...

It could go in a lot of ways..a traditional tragedy where your narrator knows things are doomed from the start, or an "Awww, how touching" reaffirming type of story about personal growth. Keep some notes about it if you think up anything else. :>
