I like the sort of magic-realism this story almost immediately introduces. She knows her lover is De-evolving, acknowledges it, but is otherwise unfazed by the peculiarity of it all. Rather than spiral out in wonder of how this is happening and telling everyone she can about it, she just sorta goes with it. The idea of a person degrading backwards through the evolutionary timeline is an interesting concept, juxtaposed by how casually she reacts to it. While she does miss "Human Ben" she doesn't caterwaul or break down because it. And though it has a scientific pretense, it is indeed a work of magic realism. I always adore magic realism pieces such as this. And though short, it certainly tells a whole story.
