Shared Territory

Ginger was perfectly happy to be by herself. Sure, she would get lonely sometimes, in the big house while everyone went to school and work. But that was okay. She was used to being lonely. But then they moved. And everything changed. Ginger was moved into a new cage with bars separating one half from the other. And later that day, Honeydew came. Honeydew, the annoying, stupid, ignorant little guinea pig that came along and stole the last bit of attention Ginger could grasp. Later still, the two find themselves struggling to survive without a home , without owners, without anything besides their own fur and claws.
And each other.

(Wow! This is a strange idea for a book! Oh, well.)
