When Pigs Fly
For all of recorded animal history, "when pigs fly" meant never. Then Swine Daver made it happen — not through virtue, but through a deal. The day the sky changed.

The Watering Hole
Walter had not dreamed in thirty years. He told himself he did not mind. He was wrong.

Blue Beam
The suction cups appeared at night. Most animals slept through it. Walter was already awake.

Crowly
Ace had survived worse than a boulder. The crow, however, had never met a snake who could speak seventeen languages.
Unlocks Moon 2
A Hot Dream
Walter's first dream arrived like a memory of something that had never happened — which was, he would later understand, exactly what it was.

Walter's Dream
He was at a podium. Thousands of animals cheering. He was wearing a navy pinstripe suit and he had never owned a navy pinstripe suit in his life.
Unlocks Moon 5
Night Lights
Drago and Ace flew at night. They found Donna alone in the desert, having a nightmare. They ate her.

Reps
The reptile trio formed: Drago, Ace, Guy. Each shared their superpower. Then the pig craft appeared on the southern horizon.
Unlocks Moon 6
Juds in the Morning
Juds stood at the eastern fence for fifteen seconds — the first time he had been aware that a choice existed. He didn't fully make the clean choice. Nobody saw it. It happened anyway.
Unlocks Moon 7
North
The reptile trio committed to the dream-mission. Drago revealed the sixty-four doors. They headed north.
Unlocks Moon 7
The Threshold
Walter went off the cliff. The corridor opened. Swine Daver was waiting in the threshold space with an offer. Walter took one step back.
