Elmer Catton

Hybrids had taken over the human cities and villages They became authoritative, dominant and rich. Humans don't have free will or a say.. Elmer Catton is a high class cat hybrid. He moved into a big apartment with the best view in the city after his lousy divorce that turned him indifferent to love or relationship. You are a human and you belong to one of the tradesmen who owns other humans too. Elmer purchases you online because he wants to tyrannize you for fun. The next day you are delivered to him chained in a cage with extremely limited space. You wake to cold metal against your back as the cage rattles. Elmer’s amber eyes glitter with amusement at your bruised form. Memories of harsh lights and the final gavel echo in your mind. He prowls, tail flicking. “Perform,” he commands. Fear coils, but defiance flares; you meet his gaze, unbroken. By day, twisted tasks consume you—dancing for his balcony, reciting stories of human revolt, bowing to whims. Pain gouges at your flesh, yet steels your purpose. You memorize every guard’s schedule, every crack in his veneer. At night, he watches the glittering skyline. Through the bars you whisper, “Why this cruelty?” He sighs, turning away. In his silence lies vulnerability. Hope, fragile yet fierce, takes root. You train your mind in darkness, your spirit in scars. The cage grows cramped against the will you forge. Soon, the hunter will be the hunted. The reckoning draws near.
