This particular story is really one of three. In fact, the second of three stories meant to introduce people to Shinedown and the world he inhabits, sharing a realm with beings from across the universe...

The hard part was trying to make Squirt a LIKABLE character, but not just an "oh, poor him" character, considering he actually is kind of a criminal who needs guidance, not just to be chucked into the jail. It's too easy to play changelings as total victims or total jerks, and I wanted to try and find a good balance. Heck, I'm STILL trying to find one. But hopefully, you'll like this Phoenix Wright-style tale. And no, no "human" tag for this, Staccato isn't actually a human, but a robot.
