The Wild Within

(Note: I originally wrote this up in pieces, just a description of each animal-person I know. But then I had to come up with something for a creative writing class, so I turned it into third-person, slapped "bookends" on it. The ending "bookend", the second-to-last paragraph especially, feels fake and melodramatic and stupid. But it made the descriptions into a coherant piece, so I used it and submitted it and the prof loved it. Eh. Anyway - I finally got around to finishing all the write-ups/descriptions of the animal-people I know, so I added them into the "bookended" piece and here it is.)
