Wild Animals (2025-)

The air in Metro City is thick with exhaust and resignation. Neil has spent fifteen years absorbing the blows: a father killed by corrupt officers, a mother fading in a hospice bed, a life defined by dead ends. Now, with the last of his foundations gone, the quiet fear that held him back has finally burned away. He is turning his gaze toward the men who shattered his world. But the act of confronting them is changing him, the initial spark of retribution threatening to become an all-consuming fire. Every step forward on this path feels less like justice and more like a surrender to the city's oldest, darkest rhythm.
