I used to be the middle child.

6 0 0
                                    

Of the three.

I was the 3rd one.

It goes

Oldest brother.
Second oldest brother.
Me.
Youngest brother.

Now, I'm the youngest.

And no, none of them went away, or moved out, or got out for adoption.

My mom loved them all.

So did I.

But
Things happened that I can't change.

I live in a town called Hybrid Crystal.
The town is very good at keeping up its name.

A hybrid everywhere, whether you look left or right.
All different species as well.

And, like animals, some species REALLY hate others.

I'm a cat hybrid.

Granted, my mom's a deer hybrid.

And, never met my dad.
But mom says he was a dog.

So how could I be a cat?
You may be asking.

Well,
No hybrid is guaranteed to be the hybrid their parents are.
It's all random.

Random at birth.

Obviously, bird hybrids would give birth to an egg.
But the egg would be a random bird.
Like, an eagle makes an egg, and the egg hatches to be a robin or blue jay or whatever.

It's just random.

So, obviously some hybrids would hate others.
Like, cats hate birds.
Or dogs hate cats.

Y'know.
Like it is in a "normal " world.
