Where We Can All Fly

He came into the room carrying the dog. I was sitting at the computer recovering from my daily evening slump, and I wasn't in the mood for a wet nose and prying paws stuck in my face.

Come on, Ben! I said, and that was enough.

He immediately turned around, still holding the dog in his arms.

Oh poor puppy, he said. Let's go. I'll take you to a place where there are puppies and love and playing outside. I'll take you to a place where there are walks and ... and expeditions! I'll take you to a place where we can all fly!

And they disappeared around the corner.
