Gray Geese

"Many things appear set in stone now that haven't always been. But we mages lost our history, helped along by the queen and her minions: ministry officials, Ether Squad mages, soldiers patrolling the mage reservations. We resisted, but they simply waited us out. One generation, then the next. Our children's children are like wild animals born in captivity. They may sense something is wrong, that life shouldn't be this way, but it’s all they know—all their parents have ever known."

In a world in which all mages have been subjugated by a ruthless queen, an old woman smuggles a young empath from a mage reservation through Mageland, a popular theme park built around several Network shows that deal with punishing rebel mages.

Gray Geese was first published in Toad Shine Zine Issue #3 under the theme of dystopian theme parks.
