Frozen Lynx: Ash’s Story

Summary:

3 years after the death of Aslan Jade Callenreese, an old friend revisits his hometown in Cape Cod to learn more about his childhood. This leads to a discovery of hidden files, along with other personal documentations left behind by Aslan’s friends and family. Piecing together the scattered evidence (with help from others) they hope to uncover the true story behind Ash Lynx's origin.

 

Warnings, suggestive content. This book follows a weird timeline and may be hard to follow initially, alternating between real time and Ash's perspective in the past.

Chapter Text

Breaking News!!!!

"Earlier this evening, a gunshot- heard near the New York Public Library. A young Chinese male was found deceased..."

"...4pm today, we've got breaking news for you- A teenager was found dead outside a peaceful library, full of students-"

"Due to the increase of recent gang activity and gun violence, Investigators are strongly advising to stay clear of this area until further notice."

 

"We are live at the scene now. It seems like the NYPD are currently evacuating the building. I'm hearing that there is an on-going investigation for the suspect. The body was identified to be a 20-year old Chinese man by the name of Lao Yen Tai..."

"I'm getting something now! ANOTHER body has been found within the building!!"

"He's still alive!!!"

"...large amounts of blood below the seat and on the table. A gun, found in his pocket. In his hand, a letter. All evidence has been confiscated from the scene now. Again, we advise everyone to stay clear of this location until the area has been cleared and the violence is controlled."

"Mysteriously, the body of the boy inside resembles an 18 year old, who has already been pronounced dead before. The leader and instigator of street gang activity, Ash Lynx."

"It has been a mere hour after today's shooting had occurred. Crowds surge around the library as both boys are taken for medical examinations."

"PLEASE PUT YOUR CAMERAS AWAY!
THIS IS A CRIME SCENE!!!"
"He looks just like a celebrity!!!"
"Oh my god..."
"STEP BACK- WE WILL BE ARRESTING-"
"LEMME THROUGH!! ASH!!! ASH!!!"

————————————————

"If anyone has any information, please dial this number..."

"Here's the crazy part. They actually released the letter publicly. Anyone can read it!”
"Seriously?"
"Yeah man! Everyone knows everything about this 'Ash' guy! He's a total fag!"

"An officer revealed several records, claiming that this boy- Ash Lynx, was far from innocent..."

"Don't you remember that weird attack at the national museum from a few months ago?! Ash was dead by then! They blame everything on this kid! It's fabricated evidence!"

"The autopsy will prove if Ash Lynx had anything to do with the shooting of Lao Yen Tai, or if the body was wrongfully misplaced with the weapon."

"An increase of graffiti was found near Central Park, all dedicated to the beloved teen who passed earlier this week."

"Almost seems like the entire world is obsessed with this kid. He’s just another hoodlum to me."

"We've become so desensitized to hearing news about kids killing other kids. They should be given the opportunity for a better future. We are failing the future of America."

"An article written and published by a Japanese journalist has revealed the dark truths behind American street gangs and what troubles happen within them. If you've been keeping up with the trends lately, you'll be amazed to see a potential REAL photo of a living Ash Lynx within the article!

Another article about the infamous gang leader is set to release soon, written by the author of '730 Days in Saigon'."
