Hello there! Author here! Please keep in mind that this book is a HEAVYY work in progress and still in a rough stage! Also, since this is still rough, it's not composed into a solid book yet, so there's kind of just jot downs from different times scattered throughout this book!
Welcome to The Wild is based on how the main character, Crimson, perceives the world around her in middle school. She's the world's 1st ever parrot + cat hybrid, and as cool as it sounds; she faces lots of issues because of it. Many others judge her harshly, immediately labeling her as 'scary' or a 'monster' before they even get to have a simple conversation with her. Obviously, this is very hard on Crimson; ESPECIALLY in middle school. However, over a rough couple years, she learns how to tough it through and be herself; no matter how 'weird' or 'scary' she is.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
