Book Extract
When Sighman’s window popped open on the screen, I knew right away that he was in a canine frame of mind. He usually was, these days. And then he didn’t have many who would listen to him like I did. His partner Sexidude was cheating on him. It was bad enough that Dude was an occasional bi and Sigh had had to suffer competition even from a woman in the past but now Nuts was hitting on him openly and Sighman could see that Dude was tempted.
“Hi hun, u there?” the words gushed out.
“Yes, Sighman saar! As usual, I’m here for you,” I smiled.
“Kisses to you baby,” Sigh was affectionate and I was his new best friend.
“Thanks Si, wassap?”
“Guess what sweetiepie? Nuts tried his gig on Biker last night but got thrown out. The guy’s a big nut but no bignuts… lol….”
“Bow..wow”
“Yeah baby but Dude’s a bitch too. We have so much going for us. It hurts.”
“I know, I’m sorry.” I gave Sigh a hug.
“Thanks sweetheart and what’s happing with you?” he asked.
What was happening with me? Wish I had a clue. It was a limbo world. How low can you go? I had asked life too many times in the past decade.
Ten years is a long time. At one time I did not think time would ever move. It stopped in its tracks the night my mother got that phone call from a stranger.
