No one knows how it started. Domestic animals began to go wild, reverting to their primal states and lashing out at their owners. Felicia Owens, CDC scientist in Los Angeles, was attacked out of the blue by her cat. Now, Felicia is fighting bouts of irritability, anger, and outright primal rage. When others begin acting in a similar way, Felicia realizes that she needs to figure out what’s going on and how to cure it before it’s too late. Maybe it already is.

Primal Instincts

“Are you sure that you really want to be involved in this?” Felicia asked Noelani as she got things ready to draw blood from herself and Brian. 


“It wouldn’t be the first time that I’ve found myself in some kind of danger,” Noelani replied. “You would think that being a medical examiner wouldn’t be all that dangerous, but there’s been times when I’ve stumbled on things that I wasn’t supposed to. Funnily enough, it was Sebastian that saved me more often than not.” 


“I’m sure that he rubbed it in your face, he can’t seem to stop doing that to me.” 


“He did at first, then I purposefully got myself into trouble, just to piss him off.” 


Felicia laughed at that. “It’s official, we’re best friends now.” 


“Just because I like to piss Sebastian off? I wish it was always that easy to make friends.” 


“You and me both, I’ve kind of got the short end of the stick, friend-wise.”
