First published by JEA on 04 August 2017, due to be republished in 2022. Why yes, Dani did work in a zoo (both catering and retail) while she was at college and university. Yes, it was soul destroying. Night of the Penguins will remain available on Audible by JEA.
A secret cult operates at the zoo Carla works at. The pay doesn't keep food in her cupboards. All her clothes are second hand. There isn't enough money to cope with management, preferred employees, and customers.
Starving before her wages land in her pay packet, Carla walks up the hill to steal some food from the zoo. She isn't alone. Induction night for the cult happens at the same place. They need sacrifices to the old Gods to maintain power.
Carla knew management were too stupid to keep power on their own. She didn't realize the help was supernatural. She hides, looking for morsels to eat. Management know someone is there.
Left with no choice, and nothing to eat, Carla must overthrow the cult. It isn't a simple case of one bad employer, but many. For underpaid, under-appreciated employees everywhere, Carla stands up aided by a new God.
