Waiting for life to load…
A message appears on his Skype. Malcolm Staples wants to discuss some property. Who is Malcolm Staples he thinks. A veterinarian is supposed to be here in a few minutes, but the vet will probably be late, so maybe there is time for a quick call. The man dials Malcolm’s number.

Life is just not a series of happy endings. We’re all going to experience loss in our lifetime, and it’s very sad. But if we never experienced sadness, how would we know what happiness is?
This is a beautifully written story.
