When Caroline saw the mutant black–tailed python, her entire body went rigid. Every hair on her arms stood on end. A wave of dread washed through her chest. Is the insect disaster coming early?

The mutant animals are arriving far sooner than I expected.

Raven was different. The pup showed signs of change, but the shift in his body moved slowly.

Caroline’s eyelids twitched when she realized the snake was gliding closer. Jet flapped his wings in a frenzy beside her. His small voice rang sharp and panicked.

“Bad thing! Bad thing!”

Caroline’s thoughts snapped into action. She called him into her storage space before the snake could strike.

The python had been chasing the scent of Jet, ready to snap him up as prey.

The bird was gone, and the giant snake stopped. Its body floated heavily in the middle of the water. Its eyes glowed red and unblinking. It stared at Caroline, as though deciding if her body would fit down its throat.

Caroline raised her hunting knife. Her knuckles turned white as she gripped it hard. She stood her ground and met its stare.

She could flee into her storage space. Yet snakes were not like other creatures. They could wait. They could stalk.

She could not trust it would leave. If it stayed close, then she might lose track of it.

When she came back, the danger would only grow. It could be lying somewhere, hidden in the shadows, waiting for a chance to ambush her.

If she were to go into the water, the python could easily track her.

The python’s eyes drifted down to her blade. Its forked tongue flicked in and out. The faint red light shimmered against the wet scales. It looked torn between hunger and hesitation.

Moments stretched long as hours. At last, the python turned away. Its body slipped along the side of the building, fast and silent.

It disappeared into the shadows like a ghost melting into the night.

Caroline’s lungs released the breath she had been holding.

She swam as fast as her body allowed toward the rooftop door. She pushed through, slammed it shut, and locked it tight.

The door was built higher than the roof’s edge, so the acid rain had not touched it.

Her feet touched the floor of the hall at last. She looked back toward the door. A chill swept through her veins.

The black water outside held more horrors than she could count.

In her past life, before the apocalypse, she had never dared to see this stage. She only remembered that within months, the animals were gone.

When the rains ended, the land filled with grotesque creatures that no longer looked like what they had been. They were more terrible than the disasters that had torn the earth apart.

These beasts could seep through cracks. They could kill without warning.

Yet, in those early days, only some of them attacked people.

The true killers were the floods, the storms, the fires, the heat, and the bitter cold.

Some pets changed in ways that helped their owners survive.

But Caroline’s mind returned to the python. She had seen no rot on its body. Its flesh was full. Its form was massive. Its eyes burned like molten fire in the dark.

That snake was complete. Its evolution was complete.

The truth hit her hard. There was a reason some beasts mutated into powerful monsters this early in the game. The acid rain did not push beasts to change slowly.

It forced them forward in brutal leaps.

That snake had soaked in the storms. It had been drenched for days in the wild. That was why it had changed so fast, why its power had grown so terrifying.

Raven was mutating too, but the process was slow and fragile.

Caroline drew in a long breath. She needed to plan.

She did not want Raven to be hurt. She did not want his body to be torn apart by the change. But if she could speed it up, then he would become their shield against this broken world.
