I read this at least eight or nine times, and I still feel like I'm missing something critical that's hidden in plain sight.

Why are the humans(?) giving him milk and cookies? What's up with the seemingly massive dimensions of this "holding cell" (at first I thought our narrator might be extremely small and in a normal-sized room, but he gives a measurement in feet and uses guns designed for humans)?

Is this set in another work? Certain things make me suspect Turtledove's WorldWar series (The Race is reptillian, abnormally short, and I can't recall their blood ever being stated to be red), but those aliens don't have tear ducts or any particular fondness for salt...

10/10, delightfully weird and I would very much like to see some explanation of what is actually going on.
