I wonder when the exhaustion started to settle into my molecules, but there’s something uniquely exhausting when dealing with the same cycle of questions people tend to ask people of color, usually several times per day.

So as part of a group project codenamed U.M.N., I started writing about a meeting between four playable monster races from D&D and the Elves. For notes, the races were kobolds, goblins, orcs, and lizardfolk.
