# The Message **Published by:** [pr](https://paragraph.com/@bagroot/) **Published on:** 2022-07-17 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@bagroot/the-message ## Content ~The Message~ I looked outside the window again, sky was dark and gloomy. It had been raining all day. At that moment a street dog started barking… at something. I got up and decided to have a better look. I couldn’t see what the dog was barking at. My curiosity got the better of me and I decided to investigate. I was about to open the door when my phone chimed and my heart skipped a beat. I felt something roll deep in the pit of my stomach, “I should eat something”, I thought to myself. But deep down I knew it was not my body’s desire for nourishment that had caused it. I slowly moved towards my table to see the message. The barking grew louder and for some reason my dog decided to put his thoughts into words too. I tried to hush my dog but as always, he ignored me. I reached the table and saw the message and felt something heavy drop somewhere in my being. My vision got blurry for some reason and I moved away. I looked at my dog barking with all his might and decided to join him. ~fin~ ## Publication Information - [pr](https://paragraph.com/@bagroot/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@bagroot/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@bagroot): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/pbxbt): Follow on Twitter
