This started out in an Aesop's Fable style, with anthropomorphized animals whose names are only "Cat", "Horse", etc. For the first half, they did nothing while discussing who would investigate the disappearance of all humans. Then someone busted through the tropes of that genre ("omg, why are we talking, we're animals?"), and it went downhill from there. Ending in some nonsense about redemption that I assume represents the author's religious beliefs. ( )

2015-05-17/100%: The best thing going for this was its length, and it should have been shorter so that's not saying much. It was wordy nonsense about the Men being gone and animals being given the opportunity for redemption. Redemption from what? Yeah, we don't know. It's all part of ineffable plan. Boring nonsense with too many words but it only took 30 minutes to read so at least it wasn't too much time wasted. ( )
