Howdy, this is my first work for the Wanderers' Library. I hope you enjoy it!
The concept was inspired by the band Evolfo's song, Rat City. While the song itself is more about living a hedonistic life, the image of a city of rats stuck with me, eventually evolving into this. Because their title inspired me, I stuck two references back to them into the work.
- "To cast myself out from my old home…" is derived from their song Broken Hills. ("Goodbye to my old home / I cast myself out")
- "Music is the food of love." is a Shakespearean concept, however it's what inspired the band's name. (of love -> evol fo)
(Also, thanks to dracodiablo99 for being encouraging!)
