Another Morning.
Another Sunrise.
Another cup of Dandelion tea.
Zee sat on her Balcony, dreading the endless day of democracy ahead of her. Sip after surly sip, she watched other winged members of her race flit from glittering dewdrop to fading moonbeam.

She tossed a cardamom tea cake over the wooden rail. A burble and splash came from the lagoon two stories below, right before a purple and green tentacle snatched the teacake out of the air.
Another sip of her silky dandelion tea. Today seemed for all intents and purposes as Business as usual. She never could have known that just as she brushed cookie crumbs from her sketchbook, something was careening through the atmosphere of her world, soon to change her life forever.
