Our Memories Blanket Us With Friends We Know

Stand Up ***ing Tall

Gerard come's home a little dazed.
YES.
It's the only thing that's going through his head. He hasn't got any time to think about his new comic that he wanted to present. He put's his papers down on the kitchen bench and stares at his drawings. Pepper comes running out from the hallway and leaps into Gerard's arms. He giggles to himself, carries her into the bedroom and they both lay together

Gerard tries to think of a universal source. It's a weird Donnie Darko scene, something he thought he would like to be trapped in. But since it's happening to him, he can't seems to think. His head swims loudly.

He reaches over to his bedside table and grabs a pen and paper.
" I don't even know where to start. " Gerard say, looking at Pepper biting his lip

*~~~~*

Frank reads Gerard’s letter.

'I don’t even know the right questions to ask. Is there anything you can tell me that might shed some light on this?
Frank thinks. He looks at the paw prints tracking into the house.

*~~~*

It's another day and Gerard read's Franks letter.
I THINK WE HAVE THE SAME DOG.

*~~~*

Gerard's still on his bed again, with Pepper and writes to Frank again.
'Does yours jump on you when you come home and scare the shit out of you?'

*~~~*

Frank:
Yes, Frank thinks
He turns the page.
‘And does she sleep like a person?’
He looks over at his bed. The dog lying asleep on his back, mouth open. He sort of does look like a person. Frank laughs out loud. The dog doesn't move an inch.
He looks back at the letter.
'I call her Pepper.'
He looks at the dog. " So you’re Pepper."
Correcting himself, in amazement he says " You... will be Pepper. "
