the lost dog, part 1


by nick nelson

part 1 of ?




excuse me.

there is something about you that i can not quite articulate.

my dog is lost.

just as i thought.

he was a very friendly dog.

that may be why he is lost.

his name was eddie.

that could very well be.

what do you mean? his name was eddie - that is a fact.

maybe he had a secret life.

that is a totally contemptible suggestion. you did not even know him.

you do not know that.

get out of my field of observation.

do my views upset you so much?

eddie was my dog, not yours. period. full stop. this discussion is over.

it is not quite so simple as that, my friend

just then a law enforcement officer appeared on the scene.

perhaps this officer will come to my assistance, in this awkward encounter.

look here, what’s all this row?

this what do you call it is harassing me.

i resent that. i strongly resent that.

officer, you have stumbled on an intolerable situation.

i do not understand any of this. explain yourselves.

let me introduce myself - i am a visionary, actively engaged in the unraveling of reality. this - this so-called individual rudely interrupted me without warning while i was meditating on the loss of my dog eddie.

is this true? speak up.

i do not know anything about any of these wild and baseless assertions.

i am an experienced judge of people, battle hardened after long years on the teeming city streets, and i must say i do not like your looks one little bit.

how unsettling for you, the accused malefactor amnwered with a sneer.

i tell you what. let’s settle this with our fists.


to be continued
