Red + Fly

One dynamic stranger is all it takes for ten year old Delia's life to completely change.

He says his name Vermilion-but he goes by Max. He's confusing, claiming to have lived multiple lives as birds, gardeners, and bumblebees. The only consistent thing about him is his missing lady-love, a woman he calls Red-whose real name might be Lepidoptera.

Red is currently the champion drag racer for the Emperor. Undefeated, the Emperor has put out a call for any competitor to race her. The winner Receives a large monetary sum-the perfect opportunity for Vermilion to reunite with her.

Delia lives on a train that has long since stopped running, rusting on the tracks, she and her company are doomed. If Vermilion beats Red, he's promised to give Delia all his winnings.

There's just one hitch to his plan, Lepidoptera remembers their past differently. She's always seen Vermilion like a fly buzzing about. Harmless, but ultimately obnoxious.

This is the story of Red + Fly.
