Synopsis
Elsa’s family grows more unkind by the week. Her boss, a seven-foot-tall rage demon, has control of everything but his anger. And her cat wants to eat her. Things could be better.
In a world where one’s Animal Affinity is a sign of maturity and worth, Elsa’s inability to demonstrate hers is becoming more than a disappointing nuisance; it’s becoming a danger. She has no confidence she’ll ever conquer her Plainness by “blossoming.” She also fears both the wolf packs that prowl her neighborhood and being stuck in a life plummeting rapidly from lackluster to perilous. Fortunately, she has a cousin and a co-worker who know her better than she knows herself and can see through to what society won’t.
FINIS. is the magic realism of our time, a story of finding one’s way to the end of things, of persevering through the dregs of life to discover something more.

Une courte histoire dans un monde fantastique où rendu à la maturité, tu trouves ton «?spirit animal?». Beaucoup de parallèles peuvent être faits avec la réalité et du fait que les gens différents sont souvent rejetés par la société. J’ai aimé cette réflexion, mais beaucoup trop de choses restent sans réponse selon moi.
