A race of highly advanced, two-legged extraterrestrials has come to Earth and taken over without saying a word. Humans are now their pets. Free spirited Aramintha finds herself trapped in the worst way, and together with three other traumatized strangers (Jonah, Winsome and Ephraim), she must navigate a world where the unimaginable has become real. For Aramintha, there are two options: escape or death. Domesticated is a big sci-fi story told in small, intense bites. CONTENT GUIDANCE: Domesticated is a speculative story. Human anatomy/physiology and sensation (pleasure, pain and otherwise) are all elements of Domesticated’s narrative. We explore how an advanced non-human species might deal with the human body and mind.
