Chapter 1: Reincarnated as a Raccoon - Manga Format Scene 1: The Solar Panel Setting: Ozark Mountains, autumn day, rustic cabin surrounded by orange and red trees, solar panel array on roof Panel 1: Wide shot of mountain cabin with Abraham (73, weathered face, flannel shirt) squinting up at solar panels making clicking sounds Abraham: "Maybe I can live with the clicking sound..." Panel 2: Close-up of Abraham's worried expression as he surveys his property Abraham: "Something about power grids failing and strange things happening... which definitely doesn't sound good." Panel 3: Abraham looking toward a small cabin downstream Abraham (thought bubble): "Most of my other neighbors were... particular. I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. At least Shelly's cute, even if she's needy." Panel 4: Abraham sighing, hands on hips Abraham: "Dang, if I was only forty years younger." Scene 2: The Prepper's Domain Setting: Interior shots of Abraham's well-stocked cabin and storage areas Panel 5: Abraham walking past shelves lined with canned goods, freeze-dried meals, ammunition Abraham (narration): "Most folks pegged me as your typical doomsday nutjob... Hell, they weren't wrong, but a broken clock is still accurate twice a day." Panel 6: Abraham tending to his garden, showing rows of radishes, greens, turnips Abraham: "Hell of a lot of work for an old man." Scene 3: The Baby Raccoon Setting: Back porch of cabin Panel 7: Small, scrawny baby raccoon sitting by empty food bowl, looking up at Abraham

Abraham: "Still mooching off me, huh?" Panel 8: Abraham crouching down, knees protesting, studying the tiny raccoon Abraham (thought bubble): "Scrawny little thing. He couldn't have been more than one or two months old, skinny as a fence post." Panel 9: Abraham heading inside to get food Abraham: "Last handout. After this, you're on your own." Abraham (thought bubble): "We both knew I was full of shit, though." Panel 10: Abraham dropping peanuts and jerky into the bowl while raccoon waits cautiously Abraham (thought bubble): "Smart. Trust nobody, verify everything. Good survival instincts." Scene 4: The Heart Attack Setting: Garden area, dramatic lighting as crisis begins Panel 11: Abraham suddenly clutching his chest, wrench falling from his hand Abraham: "Son of a bitch... Not now. Come on, not now." Panel 12: Close-up of Abraham's face, pain evident, as he staggers Abraham (thought bubble): "It started as a tight squeeze in my chest... This was the big one." Panel 13: Abraham collapsing, baby raccoon looking worried and making concerned sounds Abraham: "Sorry, little guy... Guess you're flying solo from here." Panel 14: Abraham's final moment, looking at the raccoon with regret Abraham (thought bubble): "All those years getting ready for disaster, and I'm checking out from something as ordinary as a heart attack." Panel 15: Everything fades to black Text: "Then everything went dark." Scene 5: The Awakening Setting: Same location, but from a much lower perspective Panel 16: Confused first-person view, very close to the ground

Abe (internal): "Waking up was... weird. Nothing felt right. And why the hell am I so close to the ground?" Panel 17: Abe trying to stand upright, face-planting onto the deck Abe: "What the hell?" (comes out as chittering noises) Panel 18: System notification appearing as glowing text SYSTEM TEXT: "SYSTEM INITIALIZATION COMPLETE. Maximum Mana Affinity Detected. Reincarnation Initiated. New Host: Procyon Lotor" Scene 6: The Realization Setting: Deck, showing Abe's new raccoon body Panel 19: Abe looking down at tiny paws where hands should be Abe: "You've got to be kidding me. I'm the raccoon. I'm the goddamn baby raccoon." (chittering sounds) Panel 20: Evolution menu appearing as floating interface SYSTEM TEXT: "EVOLUTION AVAILABLE. Mana saturation has unlocked adaptive options. Select One." Options listed: Enhanced Hearing, Enhanced Manual Dexterity, Enhanced Night Vision, Enhanced Scent Tracking, Vocal Cord Modification Panel 21: Abe considering the options, focus on Vocal Cord Modification Abe (thought bubble): "Chittering for the rest of my life like some Disney sidekick didn't sound appealing." Panel 22: Abe selecting vocal cords, tingling sensation in throat Abe: "Testing." (in high-pitched voice like Alvin and the Chipmunks) Panel 23: Abe's horrified expression Abe: "Just perfect. A baby raccoon going through puberty." Scene 7: Dealing with the Body Setting: Garden area with Abraham's human corpse visible Panel 24: Abe looking at his old human body with determination Abe: "Fudge me. There was no way I was going to let my old body get eaten by whatever animal I had smelled earlier."

Panel 25: Wolf howl echoing through the woods, Abe shivering Sound effect: "HOOOOOWWWWL" Panel 26: Abe noticing he has two shadows - one normal, one supernatural that fades away Abe (thought bubble): "Was that normal raccoon vision?" Panel 27: Abe rolling up metaphorical sleeves, looking determined despite his tiny size Abe: "Well, I guess it would give new meaning to the saying, 'Over my dead body.'"
