Hey, this story is not furry in any way but I would still love it if you read it.
Pain, some are unfamiliar with the word. Some know it quite well. Some can describe their whole life with that word. That one word is the meaning of Phoenix's life since he turned 28. He was happy, had a good job, and was living on Cloud 9. Things changed on his birthday. Kidnapping, torture, and is a witness to the murder of the one he loves most. Despair and suffering are common in his broken state of mind, yet there might be some hope for this phoenix who can rise again.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
