There's a moment before any new journey, when you sense something waiting, just out of sight.
Maybe it's the flutter of movement at the edge of your vision. The soft brush of fur against your hand. A whisper of color that shouldn't be there, aurora light where there should only be shadow.
That's where we are with this story.
You might catch a glimpse: a tail curving around the corner of a letter, ears that twitch with curiosity, the shimmer of something that doesn't quite belong in this world but feels like it should. The rest is waiting, patient as morning mist, just around the bend.
And that's how the best stories begin, isn't it? Not with everything revealed at once, but with questions. With wonder. With the quiet hope that what's hidden might just change everything.
Some souls are born to help others cross thresholds, those liminal spaces between what was and what could be. Between fear and hope. Between the world we know and the world we dream of.
What if I told you that such souls still exist? That even in a world grown sharp and suspicious, there are those who remember what we've forgotten about connection, about gentleness, about the bridges we used to build between our differences?
What if one of them was searching for something we've all lost?
I can't wait to introduce you to this world. We’ll start on August 1st.
For now, we get just a glimpse. Sometimes, anticipation has its own magic.
🦊 Lu's Story will unfold every week on Figments of Creativity, beginning August 1st. This multimedia fantasy explores what it means to stay gentle in a harsh world, and what happens when we remember how to trust each other again.
