I truly wonder if anyone dislikes this take on the original short story.

I don't want to jinx it but it's on 22 upvoted and no downvotes.

If so, why?

Perhaps it doesn't meet (sorry) their mental picture when they read the story? There's definite potential for far more alien narrators observing humanity in all its meaty ways.
