A Druid in the City (Complete short story)

Some of you may have already seen this, so I don't think it's really 'new'. When upgrading to my new computer , I was able to find a copy of this story and post it back to my website.

It was originally written for a fictional setting called Modern Awakenings. An enjoyable short story, it romps through a day with a veterinary druid in a 'modern' fantasy city.

I know many of you don't have time to read a full short story, and that's fine. Everyone else: Enjoy!

A funny little story, there....
So what happened to the priest and the undead cat?
And if I may ask, why'd you stop working on Modern Awakenings?

Utterly no customer interest, and it was a BIG project.

Picture taking a fantasy world and advancing it to a kind of magical technology that just isn't magic anymore: It's become a science. They know a lot of the Why's of magic, and use the info to advance themselves. Some things, like advanced drug tech, never advanced due to magical healing existing. Most cars float or fly, since energy is so free and wheels are not as useful. Heck, most people don't take vehicles to get between places: They use gateways that connect a web of places together like instant subway stations.

Monsters make the way people live change too. Most live in "great-cities". The city core is like wall-to-wall skyscrapers and highroads that have a population density that would make new york seem sparse. Outside the core are the suburbs, and outside that are the farms. The farms are protected with automated defenses and city military.

Monsters abound.

A monster getting into a city core is like setting up a soup kitchen for it.

Blah Blah Blah.
