The first chapter of the in-progress furry novel I am writing. I currently am at a serious stalemate with the actual writing continuation, but this is still the first chapter.
I will most likely update this post with the more current versions of the chapter as I work. Posted updates will follow here.

UPDATES:
9/09/2018 ("originality" update)
10/13/2018 (formatting improvements)
1/21/2019 (total scene rewrites)
3/04/2020 (prologue addition)
Updated: 10/22/2023 (MASSIVE overhaul; I am considering this nearly complete after over 6 long years of refinement. I have been slowly progressing since I first began writing TBF all those years ago, and I'm working on getting every chapter I have written after this up to par with this one's quality.)
