If she doesn’t accept the unwanted gift she’s been given, and leave her comfort zone, music and everything on which it depends will disappear. All life. All people. All existence. The entire universe as we know it…

Dhoruba seemed to welcome the breeze ruffling his fuzzy mane as much as Emerald enjoyed it lifting her ponytail from her sticky-hot neck. She stopped singing to relish the momentary relief. Sydney was supposed to be cooler than this, even on the summer solstice, yet both her and the lion were panting as he slurped water from the trough of his temporary enclosure. She refilled it from a heavy bucket. “Might storm later,” she told him, putting the bucket down and peeling off her long-sleeved top to the t-shirt underneath. The overcast sky lay sullen over the park, gunmetal grey with looming thunderheads. The breeze, thick with greasy electrified dankness, hinted at brooding lightning. It rustled the leaves of a nearby tree, then drifted away.
