Qomp was a 68 year old BLACK man on his drive through the woods.
He was coming back from his doctor and he is sad.
He was told that he would have to be committed to a nursing home by the end of the week.
Qomp feels the hope of a silver lining in knowing that this means he'll probably see one of his grandkids.
Qomp arrive home and you hear the dogs bark.
Qomp's dogs' names are Walter and Smiley
Walter is a small dog.
Smiley is a larger dog.
Qomp's lodge is nice.
it has a fire place and all
a few hard wood incense
smells nice.
'You probably need to go to the doctors today.' Qomp thinks.
"Hey boys have you been holding down the fort" Qomp says.
"arf" Walter says
"woof" says smiley
Qomp takes off his coat and his hat.
Puts them in their respective spots.
He go into his bathroom and washes his hands.
'the boys are probably hungry' Qomp thinks
"hey boys are you hungry ?" qomp calls to his dogs.
"arf" says Walter
"woof" Smiley says
Qomp looks at his shower.
Qomp says "I might as well get right"
He twists on the shower, the water hits him and he cleanses himself.
Qomp starts to sing to himself.
"I see trees of green, red roses too. yeah nevermind" Qomp stops singing
'I should get a trumpet and make my own music' Qomp thinks
Qomp exits the shower and it's quiet.
But then he hears Walter trying to play with Smiley.
Smiley is a big old lazy dog.
He likes his alone time.
the boys are probably hungry' Qomp thinks
"hey boys are you hungry ?" qomp calls to his dogs.
"arf" says Walter.
"woof" Smiley says.
He goes downstairs
" ok then y'all wanna go out " Qomp says
"arf" Walter wanted to go but he cannot.
"Sorry boy but you're just not cut out for this one" Qomp says
"Alright Smiley let's go." Qomp
They exit and start walking
It's nigh on night
The twilight illuminates the woods.
Things look unsaturated.
Somethings missing.
Like a monochromatic movie with fireworks.
"hey Smiley let's head back it's to dark" Qomp calls out
...
...
...
No response
"Smiley come!"
The cold air is present.
Somethings missing.
"Smiley let's head back" Qomp says
The steps of the canine approach.
The dog is different.
Qomp doesn't notice.
They return.
"Note to self head out earlier" Qomp says to himself.
Qomp is in his bathroom washing his hands.
It's quiet.
Qomp feels anxious.
He leaves his bathroom and goes into the dining room.
To see.
Walter
dead
Being eaten by Smiley
Qomp hears a few of Walter's bones be crunched by Smiley's jaw.
Walter is far from here now
Far from solid
More liquid now.
Qomp acts instinctually and grabs his shotgun.
"Hey Smiley get on now !" Qomp says authoritatively.
Qomp aims the gun at Smiley.
"don't make me do this boy. Please" Qomp isn't ready for what he needs to do.
But he also know better than to hesitate with a gun.
He starts to pull the trigger.
Tears in his eyes.
He pulls the trigger
It's empty.
He looks and both his dogs are dead.
"What ? boys, boys ?" Qomp sees his 2 dogs dead
his dogs have both died
his k9s have moved on
they're in a better place now
his pets are deceased
Meat.
Food.
Qomp sees the scattered pieces of Smiley's skull.
From pinewood to redwood.
Death.
Loud.
Loud.
Loud.
The gun disturbs Qomp.
Qomp throws the gun and tries to run from it.
He slips on a piece of Smiley's face.
He lies on his stomach.
Aching
Eye watering
He passes out due to the overlapping thoughts.
His brain shut down temporarily, it was over heating.
Qomp lays with his boys
