Summary
a drabble a day with moments from the lives of the inhabitants of hell's kitchen and their daemons.
Note
"Dæmons are the external physical manifestation of a person's 'inner-self' that takes the form of an animal. Dæmons have human intelligence, are capable of human speech—regardless of the form they take—and usually behave as though they are independent of their humans. Pre-pubescent children's dæmons can change form voluntarily, almost instantaneously, to become any creature, real or imaginary. During their adolescence a person's dæmon undergoes "settling", an event in which that person's dæmon permanently and involuntarily assumes the form of the animal which the person most resembles in character. Dæmons and their humans are almost always of different genders."Matt's daemon is Alstriona, a brown hyena. Day 1: Flickering - 100 Words - A dim room. A singular, flickering light. Maniacal laughter comes from the shadows.

Foggy woke up when something thumped on his balcony. He didn't move, wondering if he'd have to pay bills in the afterlife if a burglar murdered him. Brisa pecked him until he stood to go see who or what was outside, grabbing the first object he saw- a yellow umbrella- to use as a weapon if any bludgeoning was required.
When he threw open the balcony door, a hyena sitting calmly on the balcony turned her sightless eyes to him.
Foggy lowered the umbrella, immediately looking around for any sign of Matt.
"He's not here," Alstriona replied.
Foggy's stomach lurched.
