Domesticated

Celia C. Peters

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.

THE SCOOP
Meet Aramintha, a free spirit in captivity, thanks to the alien invasion. She's being held in a large room inside what used to be a bank. She’s isolated from other humans and disoriented....still halfway in her old reality. In her previous life, she ditched her successful career as a financial analyst to open an internet cafe. Now she's lost everything, including her partner Sage, the love of her life. Worse, she cannot understand her alien keepers. At all. Aramintha fears her extraterrestrial captors as much as she despises them, but at the end of the day, resistance is everything.
