"Comfort Conceals; curiosity reveals."
In the tradition of Animal Farm, this timely allegory follows Fox and Kit as they peel back the layers of a forest controlled by unseen elites. A coded field guide for anyone who feels the 'unseen bars' of modern systems and dares to ask 'Why?'
"A very nice parable in the tradition of Animal Farm and on such an important issue. Very timely." – Michael Martin, PhD
"The similarities between Ank and Tolkien are notable. " - Chenkuang Yap
Experience the Rhythm of the "Why"
The Fox Who Wondered Why is more than a story to be read. It is a cadence to be felt. To capture the atmospheric depth of Fox’s world, Jonathan Ank has transformed each chapter’s poetry into a sprawling, immersive soundtrack. This musical journey underscores the tension between the "Curtain" of the Forest and the "Flame" of subjective truth.
From the industrial, rhythmic drive of the Sweet-Mill to the haunting, ethereal silence of the Peace-Glade, the soundtrack serves as a psychological companion to the text. Whether you are navigating the bureaucratic labyrinths of the Knot-Hall or walking the Sly-Path toward liberation, these tracks provide the sonic architecture for your own existential wondering.

Elemagicus: Creation’s Echo (Coming 2026)
Elemagicus: Creation’s Echo (Coming 2026)
A million years ago, a wound was opened in the heart of creation. Born from the corpse of the primordial Gray-Tree and carved by the hands of a craftsman whose lineage would span the rise and fall of civilizations, the Bentbox was never merely an artifact; it was a memory in wood and scar. Forged through ancient pacts with the Guardians of wind, lightning, fire, starlight, water, and earth, this vessel carried a burden so heavy it fractured the human tribe, sending ripples of prophecy across the fraying edges of reality. As the living breath of the original ritual hardened into the rigid verse of forgotten tongues, the box slept, stripped of its meaning but never its purpose, waiting for the one whose blood still hummed with the rhythm of the first note.
Now, in a world that has long forgotten the Darkles and the Great War of the Guardians, Ava Pike awakens to a whisper from the deep. The ancient rhyme of six beasts, six turns, and six steps is no longer a relic of folklore, but a living key to a door that was never meant to be reopened. As the scar on the Bentbox begins to thren and the arteries of the planet coil in anticipation, a distant descendant must reclaim a legacy that was severed before the first word of history was inked. Elemagicus: Creation’s Echo is a sweeping epic of survival and rediscovery that challenges the boundaries of time, exploring the terrifying truth that some wounds never heal, and some echoes are meant to be answered.
About Me
About Me
Jonathan Ank is a writer of profound curiosities and an architect of high-concept allegories that challenge the boundaries of narrative and philosophy. With a career defined by a relentless inquiry into the systems that shape our reality, from the psychological conditioning of modern society to the deep-time echoes of our evolutionary past, Ank creates "Living Myths" for the twenty-first-century seeker. His work is characterized by a unique fusion of rhythmic, lyrical prose and rigorous intellectual depth, transforming complex theories of power, existence, and ecology into visceral, high-stakes experiences that resonate with readers across generations.
Whether deconstructing the "Curtain" of bureaucracy in his acclaimed political fables or excavating the primordial pacts of humanity’s ancestors, Ank’s mission is to provide the "Sly-Path" through the curtains of manufactured reality. He believes that the most important stories are those that offer a "Via Negativa," a way to find truth by stripping away the false, and a "Circle of Ears" where collective wonder can flourish. Currently residing between the modern forest and the archaeological whispers of Terra’s past, Ank continues to write the stories that help us remember what we were never meant to forget.
