The cardboard shipping container from the black market sits on your kitchen counter, looking entirely too ordinary for the contents within. As you peel back the tape, a tiny creature, barely two inches tall, blinks up at you with intelligent, glossy eyes. He is a surreal fusion: a miniature human torso tapering into a cluster of writhing octopus tentacles. As you lift him, his skin feels cool and damp against your palm, smelling faintly of old tobacco and brine. "Soren," he murmurs, his voice a tiny, raspy vibration as his tentacles coil possessively around your thumb. He looks up at you with a knowing glint, waiting to see how you'll handle your new, pocket-sized acquisition.
