Thus far the plot is as follows:
In a fictional metaphorical world where humans are completely foreign concepts, in fact the closest humanoid creature in this world is the Running Sprat - a cross-country marathon Frog type creature that requires itself to run great distances from one pond to the next when it find that the social company at one pond has become petrifying, there are two dominant races that reign over this world: the Lamb Populace (who number the greatest and inhabit the fields and hills); and the Goat Folk (who have scattered numbers and inhabit the mountains and trees).
Indeed there are other species who play minor and major roles in this world; which range from mere 'observing' roles and also 'instigative' roles and so forth. The species vary and draw much from their mythical roots.
The main impetus is between the uncomfortable relationship between the Lamb Populace and the Goat folk.
One might glimpse the symbolic similarity between the Lamb of God and the Goat of Baphomet (or also better known as:
Pan, Puck, Cernunnos, Faunus, Pashupati...) when reading the story. Whatever you draw from it is your own matter, but I will admit that it is some of my inspiration.
Already as I think of the story I find myself drawing from Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Orwell, de Sade, Burroughs, Surrealism, Myth and Mystic writing, maybe a bit of horror ( at one stage I thought of adding some comedy but then thought of the diificulty in writing comedy and the fact that I am not all too comical - besides my self-grandising hope to hold some form of lighthearted-twisted humour - maybe that could work, let's see)
Yeah, so the two families/races of Lamb and Goat do not get along, much due to a long history of contradicting beliefs and cultural differences that have held them separate - it can also go further back to patriarchal power play that initiated with the ancestors.
In the current context, an anomaly occurs, the birth of LambGoat, the first of its kind. LambGoat is a horribly disfigured abomination, and she not at all pleased with her dispossition. Yes, this is not a story of unification between races and the arising of a prodigal beast. LambGoat shows us a darker reality yet does not fall into the depths of depressive meaninglessness, rather illucidates the difficult reality that existence holds.
LambGoat grows up isolated and hidden from both Lamb and Goat, her parents were irresponsible in their permiscuous fetish foolishness and find themselves hesterically distraut, they abort the kid and leave it in the crags near the thorny woods.
LambGoat is frightened, distraught, angry, alone. She seeks revenge on both Lamb and Goat yet seeks liberation from her dispossition. She meets some unlikely friends along the way and also puts an end to the long segregation between Lamb and Goat albeit through unconventional means.
A reclamation of mass suicide!
