Catherine Gonzales had spent as much time in the water as on land. She had been born in the ocean, lived her life there, and had no needs beyond what she could find under its depths. The ancient people had felt a similar connection to the ocean, and the sunken ruins of their civilization were littered with the mysterious tools of their worship. Catherine could never have imagined the secret she would stumble upon that lonely night, nor how it would stay with her the rest of her life.
This, like the Warrior Hironosuke story, is an idea borne of old plan to write stories based on every videogame I own. This one is based on Everblue 2, functioning as a sort of continuation of the game's story. It's a lot more blatant about being straight fanfic than Hironosuke, renaming characters but keeping mostly everything else, so that's probably something I should work on in the future. For the moment I'm just happy to finally have this story put into text after 2+ years floating around my head.
As I finished this story I also began to think about the world in this story, of the island of San Roque, and what Catherine's life was like leading up to this story, as well as what takes place afterwards. Parts of that resonate with feelings I've been having myself since moving back to San Francisco. If this keeps up there might be enough material for me to return to this story and possibly turn it into a novel for NaNoWriMo. I'd like to know I have more than one novel in me, as well.

Admittedly, this is one of the most abstract TF stories I've read, to the point that at first I wasn't sure if I truly comprehended a TF. Regardless, it has some of the most fascinating ideas I've seen in a while. Dialog can tend to feel a bit hammy, but all in all, probably one of the best reads I'll have all year, regardless of my interest in the subject matter.
Wow, thanks. There's a few things that were going through my head when I wrote this. One was the radiolab episode about the seperation between the conscious and instinctive parts of the human brain, and the other was a novel I'd read last year. The novel was in the style of Wicked City, and I can't remember the name but it wasn't very good anyways. What I do remember however was a short segment in the middle where one of the main characters dives into the mind of a man near death whose brain had been damaged by physical and magical means. The way the mental world was described in a mixture of abstract and concrete elements really stuck with me, and it's an element I'd like to revisit in the future.
I see. It's fascinating as I can't think of too many TFs of a possession theme where it seems more like... And you'll forgive me I hope if I've failed to correctly chart the flow of the story, but where the human is the invasive force. The idea of the person's spirit having a survivalist instinct and living on through the animal seems like it should be an obvious spin when you consider the amount of "Animal dies, and it's spirit invades the killer/witness/etc." that have been made on this site and on elsewhere. It's just the slightest inversion, but it makes all the difference, especially when combined with such expansive 'psychological' aspects beyond typical 'battle of animal instincts'. Reminding you that you didn't use a bunch of tropes isn't exactly a compliment, but at the same time I think you should get an earful of how nice it is that someone broke the mold on this little speck of the internet.
