I did give it a 2nd try since the name really makes it sound like fun but when I got to the blubbering fat guy with tits I shut it off and deleted it as fast as I could.

Why are you bleak? I highly recommend the following to bust out of the blues: do a kick boxing workout or climb up a steep hill at high speed and enjoy the nature at the top, next play some chess online, then you watch a combination of a Pink Panther episode (comic version), Fawlty Towers and finish off with a Jim Carrey movie any one will do. After all that it is impossible to feel blue anymore. Repeat as necessary over the following days to maintain good feeling.

Your story is not a bad one. The idea with the dog is creative just the ending was raunchy and I think the guy freaked out too badly about the dog when he should have communicated with the dog further about it and maybe found a way to improve the bad situation instead in some unexpected way. Just my point of view on it. Maybe the dog was lying or had other motives. I rally like apocolyptic stories but mostly because they are about cool stuff like gunfire, mutants, body armor, wastelands and badguys to knock off.

Fawlty towers. :lmao: I actually have them on DVD, nice choice.

The dog did explain itself, the guy talks briefly about the dog doing that, what is intresting I thought, after I wrote it was that in the beginning the guy says that it was no consolation that the hacker was dead too but after all of it he doesn't care whether or not the dog is dead. I didn't realize that until after I wrote it, but it struck me as an interesting commentary on the character's character. He doesn't strike me as the sort of fellow who would have forgiven or reasoned with the dog after being sure that the dog had done it. He has an awful lot of flaws, such as a short temper and so forth, but I can't really ask much out of a guy who's been locked up for two years reading Edgar Allen Poe to a literate dog (assuming that the dog was more than a figure of his imagination).

Raunchy? Interesting choice of words. I can see where you can get it, but I'm not sure.... I dunno.
