We Are Dust and Shadows

Maybe I’m the antichrist?

I don't think so, haha. I'm just gunna go ahead and think you're not an animal person.

I might or I might not. I guess it depends on how often you come to me to complain? haha. Really. Gotta do what I can to keep me and my dad living happily. Not a ton. It’s enough to get by.

I guess that's true. I can assure you I don't complain often...but then it depends on what you consider to be complaining. Well...I'm glad that it's enough to get by.

Is it weird I almost put my cereal bag in the fridge...?

You did? If it was absent-mindedly I don't think that's bad.

My dog gets confused a lot...

I swear, there's something weird about you and animals.

I know how that feels. Nothing is wrong with complaining though. At least I don’t think. I work down at the car shop and I’m a taxi driver after that. 

Well you might regret saying that when I come to you now with all my complaints, haha. Really? Wow, two jobs, huh? You must make a nice bit of money.

I had to take care of my mother, she came down with the flu and I had to take care of her for a few days. I’ve missed you, too. Everything going well? 

Oh...is she okay now though? Are you okay? Now I feel kind of bad...haha. Yeah, everything's going well. I've just been working a to lately.

Aw, c’mere. 

Then that would be what I’d call a successful day then. As long as they’re getting better, right?

That's all very well and true indeed. I guess I'm just tired from all the work though so I'm just complaining. What do you do?

… Do you need a hug, Alaska? 

A hug would be nice...

That sounds terrible! But on the brightside you’ll have a lot of work to do, assuming you’re a vet.

Haha that's a good assumption and it's definitely giving me a lot of work but some of these animals are getting a little...bitey.

Apparently their pets prefer the bad, gross weather.

Yeah, really. But at least none of them are terminally ill or something. They'll all get better.

I’d be dying listening to Jamie blast her One Direction music.

Haha oh yeah! How did that end up working out?

Ah, never thought of that. I was actually thinking about just making what my mum did, but that sounds a lot more doable.

See? Where would you be without me?

Really? Thanks. It’s still not the same but I’m working on it.

But see, you can add your own stuff to it and make it into your own personal recipe.

I’m trying to make this stew that my mum used to make me back home. I’ve failed multiple times, but I think I got it right this time.

Really? Let me try some!
