In Fenton’s world, some kids are toons. Some think the change is biological. Others think the change is social. But some kids turn into toons, and Fenton’s father just wants it to stop. He’s even built a Realist movement to ban toons from the real world, hoping that it will keep his own children from following in their estranged mother’s cartoon footsteps.

 

Tensions rise as the Realists lobby to get their ban set into law, and toons fight for their right to be themselves. Fenton’s father knows he can count on his two boys to stand behind him and his dream of building a safe, a toon-free reality. It’s just too bad that Fenton’s becoming a toon….

“The Beast in the Rain” appeared in the fiction anthology Different Worlds, Different Skins, which featured fiction of human/anthro interactions. Besides giving some nice back-story on genetic-engineered races and their relationship to humanity, the story also has some gripping and moving drama.
