So, any evidence of a human presence is chalked up to some other alien civilization that must have been visiting earth. Well-written as always, and stunningly concise. I especially like the feeling of frustration I'm experiencing at the moment, realizing that there are no human beings left. Your story does something different from the way such a concept is presented in series like "Life After People" etc. You've brought in another intelligence to *perceive* the nearly complete obliteration of human kind, in the way these aliens totally miss the fact that we once existed. Short but powerful science fiction. Wow, that’s bleak! So, any evidence of a human presence is chalked up to some other alien civilization that must have been visiting earth.
