I've really enjoyed the story so far. Being apocalyptic-but-not-really, it reminded me of Y: The Last Man. Instead of everyone dying like in The Walking Dead or other apocalyptic stories (though there’s lots of death), everything changes in the blink of an eye.

It’s a good story if you like to contemplate what would happen if xyz thing just suddenly changed in the world. Here, it’s animals becoming conscious/sentient. Who hasn’t wondered what their pet would say or do if they could talk? Read this and you might sleep with one eye open.
