Egg

Egg

2026

What do you do when something shows up in your life that you can't explain?

Characters

arold the meerkat holding the egg with his paws, his wide dark eyes full of quiet curiosity

Harold is the one who pauses. He's not brave exactly — he just doesn't know how to be anything other than open. If there's a word for what Harold is, it might be faithful but he'd never use that word himself.

Luce the meerkat with a sharp, skeptical gaze, shoulders squared and ready to argue

Luce is the voice of reason. She speaks with her whole body, paws chopping at the air, shoulders squared, every argument airtight. She is not wrong about any of it, until Egg.

Harley the meerkat with a napkin around his neck ready to cry

Harley is a simple meerkat. He feels everything at full volume but has no language for any of it. Whatever comes at Harley goes straight in, and sometimes right back out.

The World

Living in a small corner of a vast desert, the story of Harold, Luce and Harley takes place in burrow dug into a mound of dry earth, decorated with things the world discarded. Inside, warm packed earth walls, found-object furniture, a shaft of daylight, a home built from scraps by creatures who don't know they're small.

Some things are built for everyone.
Some things are built for the people who stay.

Which are you?

Don't forget your Dispatches.

The occasional strange transmission from inside the studio.
