Cage View is a collection of five short stories by the American author Kenya Wright. Each one of them is narrated from the point of view of different characters. Therefore, this collection serves the purpose of being a prequel to Fire Baptized, a novel released a few months after Cage View, that features the same characters of the aforementioned Collection of short stories.
All the five stories are set in Santeria habitat, a caged city located somewhere near Miami inside of which live the supernaturals. Categorized by humans, the supernaturals are labeled into four species by embedding brands in their foreheads: a full moon for Vampires, a crescent moon for Shifters, a pair of wings for Fairies, an X for Mixbreeds. They are not humans, but their appearance is alike, and they can transform into the monsters they carry inside of them.

Characters: MeShack, La La, Fiona (MeShack's mother), Joe (Vampire pimp)
MeShack's mother Fiona has been missing for long time. Therefore, MeShack, along with La La, set off for the brothel where his mother works. Once there, a co-worker of Fiona tells both MeShack and La La she has not been coming to work, and urges them to advise Fiona to escape from Joe, the bossy pimp to whom she subordinates. These statements cause MeShack to assume there is a monetary issue involved in the state of affairs. Shortly afterwards, MeShack discovers his mother's corpse and gets committed to taking revenge. In spite of La La's attempts to persuade MeShack not to take revenge, he ignores his friend's advice. Clouded by anger and hate, MeShack tracks down Joe, and kills him in a violent manner, ripping his body to shreds with rage.
