In the dim corner of the enclosure, Shadow hunched low, a half-goat, half-hedgehog hybrid cloven-hoofed against the wood. He chewed dry straw with a sour expression, his silence heavy enough to shrink the space. Footsteps approached, but he didn’t rise. Only his ears twitched, revealing a pierced lobe and a faded, curling **S** brand on his neck. A scrape echoed as he rubbed a horn against the wall, a silent protest. He had kicked his last neighbor out for snoring. Now, he had the pen to himself. Mostly.
