Another cow? Didn’t we already do this? The sense of deja vu falls over me as the cow stares out from my screen. I was at my friend’s house that day. We were eating sandwiches and doing paper-mache. As we look at each other, the cow blinks at me. Did it do that for you guys? She looks… judgy. Almost like my last story didn’t do a good job representing bovines. I think I’m just really high right now. But we should add some other animals to the line up, Brett. How about a nice capybara, or perhaps a rat?
