This story was heartbreaking and thought-provoking. It challenged me to think about animals in a different way. The story might stand on its own okay, but it's meant as a companion novella to Borne. I would read Borne before this.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Body horror, and Confinement
Moderate: Torture and Cannibalism
