The Animals

by Emory Wolfe

The only city left on Earth is full of broken buildings and broken people. Autumn lives here, in a world full of women with green mustaches, people masturbating openly, giant talking grasshoppers, one giant, chaotic, and absurd, sprawling mess of a city full of orgies, trash, and cigarette butts, all plastered in the color orange. Every fetish unimaginable openly permissible, work that doesn't end, questions are not allowed. But then Autumn discovers something forgotten. Something ancient. Something beautiful. And something dangerous. Love. This love begins to create conflict in Autumn's mind, forming two voices that begin a dangerous war over his existence. One is a voice of reason, his guidepost, and the other an insatiable appetite to indulge in the graphic, shocking, and disturbing hedonistic values of society. And so Autumn attempts to define his own values, his own purpose, in a purposeless world. But in order to do so, he must first discover what separates animals from humans... if anything.

About the author

Best known for dark, gritty satire, Emory attempts to show the dark side in all of us. Hilariously horrible, in all aspects, sometimes even too disturbing for some, Emory does not write for the weak or the faint of heart. Brutally honest and minimalist, he is writing is about people and the situations that unite us.
When not writing, he is a content creator, binging on true-crime & mystery, or napping with his cat.
