Mood: accomplished
Music: Talis Kimberley, "Ten Years."

From A to Z in the InCryptid Alphabet: Y and Z.

Y is for YEARS AND YEARS.

This is not a job that has an ending. This is not a job where one day, you get a gold watch and a fare-thee-well from the company. This is a job that begins when you realize it needs to be done, and ends when you die. Of the members of the family who have taken up the task of protecting the world's cryptids—five generations on American soil—not one has died a peaceful death. Not one has been allowed to walk away.

There are five graves in Buckley alone, and more waiting to be filled.

This is not a job that has an ending. This is just a job that needs to be done. Remember that, and be sure you understand what you're getting into.

Z is for ZOOLOGY.

Given sufficient time, all cryptozoology becomes zoology. That doesn't mean the work is finished.

But it's a start.
