Metaphorosis magazine - beautifully written science fiction and fantasy
Fiction:Science Fiction
When Oliver the tortoise escapes from his enclosure, the animals at Rainriver Zoological Gardens will never be the same. An accidental video of Oliver goes viral, the zoo is overrun with visitors, and every animal living inside it is faced with new challenges, increased stress, and opportunities to triumph or fail in ways they've never imagined possible.
Narrated by host Matt Gomez.
