a sad time today
Got another email from Mr. Hawkins yesterday, wasn’t half as fun as the first. After I read it I walked outside and saw this on the ground next to my truck. So take it as a sign Lily is okay, buddy. She doesn’t blame you. Be good to the rest of us and yourself and it won’t be for naught.
“I went to work today like i do everyday, loaded up the dogs and headed to the shop. I was working on this old 33lb lobster that earl sanders had stuffed by a taxidermy specialist. I sprayed some mdf black for a background, and put some cherry mitred around it. I called my dog lilly of 9 months old she was no where to be found, I said “Zoe, go find lilly, She just looked at me and around the surrounding grass, I went to the grass next to 236 and she was lying down, I said “lilly! Bad girl, but she didn’t move, lilly I said with a calmer voice, and started to cry as my feet raced toward her, her body was hot, but not moving, breathing, blood was coming out of her mouth and her collar was missing, I said to myself, i just saw you 10 min ago as I hugged her heavy hot limp body crying uncontrollably, it was my fault, my shop is next to a busy road, and i was irrisponsible,. and as a result she is dead. I went to the farm and buried her there, on the edge of the field, it was by far the hardest single thing i have had to do and not wanted,”
