The dogs won’t stop barking. I throw them treats and still they won’t stop. She’s not coming back! I tell them. And then I start barking too.

I bought a monkey. I called to tell her. Her silence cut through me like a cleaver. Then she sighed. I knew she’d made peace with me. Again.

She answers the phone. I bought a pig, her ex says. He hangs up. She wonders why he bothered. She looks at her pig. He misses us, she thinks.

I slipped the meat to the dogs. She filled my plate with more. You’re killing me, I told her. The dogs started to howl. And I shat my pants.

I tried to show her the puppies. I wanted to share their cuteness with her. You hurt me last night, she said. I decided to sell the puppies.

We were fighting about fighting a lot. I had started sleeping on the couch. The air in the house reeked of decay. The dogs seemed sad lately.
