It's the late fall of 1992 and life is just going as traumatically sedated as usual for twenty something year old Naomi. Living in an unhealthy relationship across the country from her loved ones is a lifestyle that is quickly interrupted by news of illness of a dear friend of hers. As she returns to New York City to support her friends, she learns that her ill friend's final wish is to spend his very short remaining days with the animals. The only problem is that animals only live in the notoriously harsh Land of the Swords. This story follows their journey down to the challenging Land, as they navigate the seemingly psychedelic fables that the various species show them as their thoughts and feelings quickly spiral on their short timeline.

This novel is an odd anecdote of losing, finding, and navigating grief as a young adult amongst a small world. Readers can expect this to be another quick read that introduces them to various characters who find themselves in the middle of one strange problem that comes to have the power to bring closure on a level that the spirits seem to facilitate. Don't be alarmed if the characters have less of a filter than you may have imagined, they are just being themselves. And don't worry, there are many parties in this story. This story is a work of fiction that has been inspired by many personalities cut and pasted into this quirky group of friends, as well as inspired by many dreams the author has recently had.
