Barking


We've all heard it. The incessant barking from your one of your neighbors dog.

Late in the night, the barking will wake you, and you will scream at the dog out of the window.

One night, you hear the dog barking more than normal, but you will ignore it.

The dog barks again, louder and faster than before, and you ignore it.

The final time, the dog is barking loud enough to practically shake your ears.

You go out and throw a brick at the dog in the back yard, which silences the dog for good.

Proud of yourself, you fall back asleep.

Deep in your dream, all you see are dogs barking. Through an infinite void, just dogs.

The next morning, The Police find a number of footprints coming from the dog house, a bloody corpse hanging from the back door, and one dog with a brick lodged in its skull.
