Prompt Short Story: Cherry (Of Wings & Fur 01)
CW: tiny bit of stabbyness and murder, nothing graphic described, small discussion of what to do with the body Trina stretched before her workout, langurous and slow, and flexed her muscles one by one, marvelling in the strength and agility they possessed. Months had passed since her Turning, but still she relished every movement her …
