Zoo Stories

On a storm-ripped highway in the dead of night, an exhausted young man takes a wrong turn he swears was never there before. Hounded by memories, guilt, and the echo of his older brother's relentless mockery, he follows a narrow forest road into towering redwoods and vanishing fog-until the world delivers him to a place abandoned by maps and forgotten by time. Behind rusted gates and failing floodlights stands Doomland Zoo. Once marketed as an extreme wildlife attraction, Doomland Zoo promised bigger enclosures, closer encounters, and thrills designed to eclipse fear itself. But when the gates closed without explanation, the public was told it was an accident. A financial collapse. A liability nightmare. That was the lie. As the storm seals him inside the grounds, the young man discovers that Doomland Zoo was never meant to be safe-and never meant to be empty. Its cages were not designed for animals that pace and roar, but for things that learn, that watch, that adapt to the people who stand before them. Creatures shaped by isolation, neglect, and something far worse than cruelty. Each enclosure tells a story. Each pathway remembers who walked it last. And the zoo itself seems to recognize him. As he struggles to survive the night, the line between external terror and internal torment begins to blur. The voice of his brother returns, twisting and guiding him deeper into the park, while the creatures beyond the bars react in ways that feel disturbingly personal. Doomland Zoo does not simply hunt-it reflects, feeding on fear, weakness, and unfinished wounds. Because Doomland Zoo is not a place you stumble into by chance. It is a destination for the vulnerable. A home for what humanity locked away and refused to face. And once it opens its gates, it does not let go. What happens when the things in the dark find you there with them?

There is something missing from our world... the amazing animals that time has left behind. but what if we could bring them back? what if extinction didn't have to be forever? Inspired by Prehistoric Park, This Video game concept sends you, the player back in time on a safari with a difference to rescue the mighty dinosaurs from the brink of extinction, to bring them to the safety of the present and give them a second chance. Then it is up to you to build the greatest zoo on Earth, where the past meets the present. Welcome to Dinosaur Reserve! (Revised Edition)

Finn McKay has lived his whole life at Baywatch Zoo. His dad owns the zoo, and Finn is currently working as an animal trainer. One day he realizes that the current veterinarian would rather off the sick animals to save the majority of the herd then help the sick one. He decides he needs to save the animals, with the help of the new assistant veterinarian, Roxie Morgan.

Trapped within the bars of Silver Creek Zoo and unable to escape to the calling woods, the mighty werewolf was closed off from her world. Forced to stay in her wolf form, the cameras preventing her from shifting back, she struggled day by day to live up to the wishes of the public. She had no option but to listen to her keepers or they would drug and kill her. When the local pack's school comes on a zoo excursion, their Luna realises there was a werewolf trapped. But this she-wolf isn't just a werewolf. She was worth a lot more. The news of a trapped wolf spread through the pack, and eventually through the entire werewolf community, but the wolves can't do help with the naked eyes of the humans watching. There are questions that need to be answered before anything happens. Who is she? What pack is she from? How long has she been trapped there? Who is her mate? And more importantly, how are they going to get her out? (c) Elizabeth H. Blake This is the edited trilogy.

Good Morning everybody. My Name is Mike and I will be your guide through the Elephant Encounters complex here at the Eden Wildlife Zoo. This story is about a zookeeper who is in charge of the elephants at the Eden Wildlife Zoo.

Zoos used to be for animals. Until people got bored of them. Thus the inhumane ways of the child zoo were created.

Part 1 of Living Like a Lion [Revised] (I started this story when I was eight years old and I have uploaded that version since then; but I have decided that it needs some serious updating and grammar corrections. I hope you enjoy this version a whole lot better.) I started out as a normal person, just like you; but of course that had to change. It's a rather long story, but if you are willing to listen, I will surely tell. You see, it started over ten years ago during our school field trip...

Wild, exotic, unpredictable and exciting is how Lauren describes her job at the Miami Zoo. She doesn't think her days could get more intense but she's quickly proven wrong when a new member is hired to the staff. There's undeniable chemistry between the two, but will they decide to act on it? *** A/N: Setting is based on a real zoo but was given the name and location of Miami for the sake of the story. I'm employed at the zoo that this fic was inspired by and will be incorporating aspects of it into this story.

December 20   COOCOO’S NEST     I ran away to join the zoo hoping a life contained would calm me.  The segregation hit me first; isolated exclusively with those of my stripe drove my thirst for diverse scents and opinion.  Next, the monotony of the landscape bore into my brain.  The well-meaning effort of the keepers bears the mark of folks who go home at night.  The blandness of the food and music lent nothing to the experience, and antiseptic could drive anyone wild.  The final blow, the one that struck constantly and coldly, was the stream of observers waiting to be entertained.     Embrace plain tools and fine minds.   *   Home Fires Burning   I have trouble living with myself, that is why I live with you. It takes my mind off the things I don’t wish to face.   What I can busy myself within your service lightens the load of expectation heaped in my DNA by my Higher Power and Fate.   Worry is time consuming and I wile away hours fretting over you and all your unresolved trifles while turning my back entirely on my life.   I couldn’t be happier to have you, though from the corner of my eye I glimpse God packing your bags.   Vlog: http://youtu.be/EPIQNgKAmmY   You are reading selections from Sober on the Way to Sane and More Lines From My Life by Sherrie Theriault http://www.amazon.com/Sober-On-The-Way-Sane/dp/1440417342/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388576888&sr=8-1&keywords=sober+on+the+way+to+sane http://www.amazon.com/More-Lines-From-My-Life/dp/1448677203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388576956&sr=8-1&keywords=More+Lines+From+My+Life
