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.

It had been two hours since Matt first came into the office and sat down at his desk, and he was still unable to focus on anything. Alstriona had been simply pacing, restless and distracted.
There was something- takeout?- in the tiny office fridge that had obviously been left there over the weekend, and it smelled awful.
The moment that Karen finally left the office to grab a coffee, Matt leaped up from his chair and bolted to the fridge, startling Foggy and Brisa. He pulled out the mess of takeout and promptly threw it out of the open window.
