Loved the slow realisation of who these creatures are. Also, love a terrible pun!

This is so fun! It's an almost-missed-it joke, but my favorite bit is the "man being walked by a dog". An entertaining, relatable little detail. Great job with your story!

That one's true to life; my family had a Shiba Inu, now passed, and she was very much a "don't walk me, I'll walk you" kind of dog. It was all I could do to keep up!

Anyone who reads this as an audiobook should make Zornok sound like Captain Kirk ("No...need...to...get...quacky!").
