This story is weird. I mean weird. Which, seeing what I normally write, is kind of funny. It's being aimed at the Clockwork Jungle Book themed issue of Shimmer, with the word count definitely below 3,500 words...but it might go longer than that. In which case it'll just be a new story. So far, I have both aspects of the theme down. Just need to make it more like a fable.
