Symphony of Rose Fangs, chapter 13 (No Signal) - Writing Project inspired by YLiA and Beastars

Hi everyone,

I am posting a link to the newest chapter of my writing project: https://archiveofourown.org/works/66802585/chapters/208249576

Feel free to share it. If it appeals to you, please consider leaving Kudos :3. I appreciate all comments with constructive feedback.

The summary:

Ocean…

An endless expanse of water, utterly still. Not a ripple in sight all the way to the horizon. No wind to sting the skin, no birds in flight, no clouds on the ashen sky...

And no reflection on the water's surface.

Crack

Moist, thick droplets of sweat seeps from the boy's fur, smearing the instrument keys together with his saliva.

Running out the front door, he squints his eyes against the daylight…

The girl lets out a nonexistent cough, unable to breathe; unable to anchor herself in the moment...

A new image flashes in front of her eyes — like someone flipped a frame in a silent film.

Four oval, pitch-black legs, emerging from a box-like void that forms the rest of the body. A wide, wavy, unmoving fin stretching toward the center of her view. A row of white, protruding teeth—

She steps off into the city’s drying arms and pulls out her phone sealing in the just-accepted travel plan.

But can one attempt to transform the survival of prey and predator alike… into the life of animals?
