How do you people make your summaries so modest ;-; Mine is so pretentious. I tried editing it - heck, even rewriting it - but it's either awkward or exaggerating. Even now the prose is ridiculous... There'll be a moral of truth in the end, sure, but
One moonless night, given vision solely by the flickering flames of several candles, a dog picks up her journal and begins to write. Her story is one of greed on her part and that of others. It is of sadness and misery. It is one of hatred, regret, and bias. Despite all this, it is also one of truth. And at that moment, she feels that is all that matters.
Other version:
I'm Althea. Cryptographer extraordinaire, and part butterfly wolf. This is Acrost, deep-thinking poet. And this is Sawyer, wood carver. That's Amirah. Suffice to say she's a jerk. But she's our jeek, no matter how much she manipulates us into nearly dying or is willing to risk our lives for a little of her own benefit.
Yet another version:
Tonight, the starlight seems to fall through the windows of their attics. Four people - dogs, butterfly wolves, and cats - find their old journals, and get lost in their childhoods. Join them as they discover more than they thought they knew about Alinia's history, and themselves.
You may have noticed I love mentioning celestial bodies... Either way, (and I swear I'm not trying to fish for compliments here) they're all terrible. Especially that last one. It literally doesn't say anything at all about the story except "it takes place a long time ago." There isn't even any narrative about their reactions in it at all...
I'm socially awkward and sometimes terse - don't mind me.
