1 Diagnosis

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
