Mongrel

“Are humans classed as red or white meat?”

“What?”

“Are humans...”

“No, I heard what you said, I’m just disturbed by the content.”

“It’s a perfectly reasonable question.”

“Yeah. For a cannibal, maybe. Or a serial killer. Should I be concerned?”

“Ha! Hahaha. Idiot.”

“Oh, I’m the idiot? I’m not the one asking psychotic questions. Why do you want to know anyway?”

“Dunno. Just curious. Don’t look at me like that. Okay. Fine. I bit my cheek accidentally and I just wondered, okay?”

“Right.”

“What?”

“You’re so weird.”

“I know, that’s why you love me, babe.”

“Whatever.”

“Do you want to watch something?”

“Nah. I’m good with my book.”

“Okay. Hmmm. Today is a Good Day to Die. So, a little light bedtime reading?”

“It’s interesting. The title isn’t really that relevant to the story.”

“I hate it when they do that. I don’t get it.”

“It’s just... I don’t know, it’s just a title. It’s a good book.”

“Fair enough. Fancy a cuppa?”

“If you’re making one. Peppermint tea, please.”

“We’re going to need to go to the shop soon. I think that’s the last of the peppermint. I’ll go tomorrow after work if you want?”

“That’d be good. Can you get me some ginger beer, and some strawberry liquorice? I’m craving everything at the moment.”

“I can do that.”

“Oh, and those nice biscuits we liked, the ones with the chocolate bits in.”

“The ones I never got to try because you ate them all?”

“Maybe...”

“Ha! Okay. Write me a list or something.”

“Will do. I was thinking, do you fancy going down to Brooklyn to the cinema tomorrow? We could take your sister along too. It might be the last time we all get out together before... you know?”

“Maybe. Can I see how I feel after work?”

“Yeah. No worries. Have you seen her this evening by the way? Is ‘Stalker Steve’ still bothering her?”

“She’s not mentioned him. I think he might have finally given up.”

“I hope so. I can’t believe he actually bit her, eh? What a weirdo.”

“I know, right? Bloody mongrel. I saw her earlier on. She said she was gonna meet up with some people. Some sort of hippy tribal drumming group on the beach, I think. She probably won’t be back until late. I left her the spare key to get in.”

“Oh, good! I’m glad she’s getting out. She needs it. Anyway... you watch something if you want. I’ve got my book.”

“Alright. I’ll catch up with my zombie programme, I reckon. If that’s alright with you?”

“Mmmm. Yeah. No probs.”

“Sweet. I know you don’t always like the gory stuff. Especially at the moment. I’ll just… Oh, hey! Did you hear something just then?”

“What?”

“A noise. Outside.”

“In the garden?”

“I’m not sure. Sounded like a knock on the door.”

“Really?”

“Listen... yeah, I’m pretty sure I heard something.”

“Have a look out of the window.”

“I can’t see anyone. Hold on. Yeah, that was definitely a knock.”

“Is it your sister?”

“I don’t think so, I gave her a key. Unless she’s forgotten it again.”

“Don’t answer it. Just ignore it. I’m not opening the door to strangers this late.”

“Could be cops?”

“Why would the police be knocking on our door at 11 o’clock at night? What have you been up to?”

“Hey! That’s a bit harsh! I don’t know.
