The Dog

A quiet neighbourhood on the edge of town. A decrepit, tree-shrouded lot with an uninviting home. A rotting, ugly doghouse. A terrible secret. The Dog. Is it so bad to just want to be left alone? The Master is a quiet, reserved man. He works hard, keeps to himself, seeks to deflect interest and avoid attention. His dog is kept confined, warded with signs and barriers, inflicted on no one. But despite the Master’s earnest wishes, despite all his warnings and signals, it is a curious world. Even when there are no reasons to intrude, there are always folk who just do not leave well enough alone. More fool them. If you will stick your nose in, you will get it bitten off. The Dog. There are many things hidden from the face of the world. Secret intrigues. Secret shames. Secret desires. Secret truths. Then there are secrets that are kept for your protection. Revelations so mind-searing that if you learned them, the veil of reality would be forever stripped from in front of your eyes. Ruinous temptations that would lead you to irresistible degradation and doom. Destructive forces so savage that merely coming to their notice is signing your own death warrant. The Dog. Curiosity kills more than cats.
