This story was written by Victor Benitez and me 

I’ve been alone since three days i think everyone is playing something, why nobody invited me? Not even my wife, I must have overslept. As I’m driving to work I notice there are no more cars on the street, Hurray! No traffic. I get to work and wait for somebody to show up, my boss should pay me more because I did came to work unlike those lazy people out there. My turn has ended and I go for a lunch at the corner, I arrive at the restaurant and wait for someone to take my order, I have waited 30 minutes but no one seems to be there so as usual I go alone to the kitchen to make me a sandwich, it’s a shame that I don’t know how to cook, if it continues like this I will live the rest of my life eating sandwiches, as I go back home, I fall on the street, I turn around to see who kicked me but nobody was there, fool me as if there was anybody on the whole planet. I’m bored so I decide to go to the movies, when I enter to the cinema room and I have to wait like 30 minutes for it to start, I got angry and I went to give my complain to the manager and for my surprise there was nobody…again. So I went to put the movie by myself but I didn’t know how so I just sit there and watch the roll film trying to figure out what was happening in the movie. I went back home because my wife don’t like when I get late and even if is not possibility that she is going to be there, she really scares me when she gets angry. There at my house I have the idea to call my friends to have a drink and I wait patiently at the phone for them to answer but they never did. I was really bored because I didn’t know what to do that I must have fall sleep, but some strange noises wake me up it was like somebody was scratching my door, I wish is the pizza that I order yesterday, that would make my day better. So I went to see and when I open the door there is a dog, first I think that is fantastic that I’m not alone but it’s really sad that it’s not my pizza.

. I think that for now this dog is going to be my only friend, so I let him enter my house but I still wonder how did it get here, and how did it know that I was here. Anyway he enters to my house and it felt great because my mother never let me have pets. After a while I was watching television with the dog, the only problem was that there was no signal in the TV. but is better than yesterday when I couldn’t turn it on. I felt how my wife wake me up from that weird dream with an adorable kiss, I was really happy and I give her a hug but then I noticed that she was a little hairy and that was not pretty for a woman, I open my eyes and I see the dog I found yesterday, and I started thinking that the game everybody is playing have taken so long, that maybe it wasn’t a game…maybe it was something else…like a party.

So i thought, If they could make a huge party and not invite me I would do the same to them, so I plan a huge party in the park but I only invited the dog, because he was the only one that appreciates me.

Here I am in the park and the bad news is that my party is horrible because I get used to let people bring the food and drinks for the parties, so I didn’t bring nothing. Then I saw the little dog that was bored so I decided to play with him, I grabbed a stick and throw it away wishing that the dog would go for it, and he did so I do it again but this time it takes longer for it to found it. I threw the stick again for the third time, but he hasn’t come yet, so I keep waiting.

It has passed two hours and it hasn’t come, but I will patiently wait in here until he comes back, because he is my only friend.
