    #2: Bad Dog

    Hello?

    Right you are. The one with the dog.

    Yes. The miracles of technology never cease, do they?

    Is he? That’s great.

    He loves those tennis balls.

    Well… I guess I was just feeling like I should’ve given you a little more information about him.

    The thing is, it’s kind of weird.

    Why don’t I just say what I called to say and you do with it what you want.

    It’s about my brother Stewart who disappeared about a year ago.He said he was going to the movies one
    night and just never came back. My brother had some problems.

    Drugs. Alcohol. A temper. He just had a weird energy about him and so… bad things seemed to follow
    him around.

    Like… when he showed up from Utah, the phone, the garbage disposal and my car all stopped working.

    On the same day, though. But that was minor stuff. During the time he was living with me, our trees got
    a disease. Our upstairs neighbor died – things like that. He even said after I wouldn’t give him a cigarette
    that he hoped I died of lung cancer.

    Then about a month ago, Hardy showed up in the back yard digging up the plants. So I decided to take
    him in and look after him.

    They just have a lot of the same problems.

    The trees got the same disease again. And the cable keeps going out. The water heater burst.

    Bad luck. I know… But then last week I was diagnosed with lung cancer.

    I really really wish I was joking… I-

    Well, thank you. I’m starting treatments next week.

    I hope so too. So I just thought-

    It’s more than that, though.

    It’s that I think they’re the same.

    Hardy and Stewart.

    You’re right. I probably am crazy. But just in case I’m not I wanted-

    Look at his nose, though. It has a scar. Stewart had the same scar from a motorcycle accident. And you
    know the way Hardy scratches at his right paw? Stewart had eczema on his right hand.

    I promise you, I’m not.


    I don’t know! I just felt like I needed to tell you and now I told you.

    God no. I don’t want him back. Just – I don’t know. I’m sorry to burden you, maybe you were better off
    not-

    Hello? Are you there?… Hello?
