The phone rang, jolting Ben out of his stupor. He glanced at the caller ID: Mrs. Peterson, his neighbor. He braced himself for the usual apology about her mischievous beagle, Winston. "Yes, Mrs. Peterson," he said, trying to sound professional. "Yes, he's here again."

He found himself already heading towards his back door. The world seemed to sharpen as he caught sight of the dog, happily trotting across the grass. Every cell in his body seemed to be humming with a strange, pleasurable buzz.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Peterson," he said, his voice lighter than he intended. "I'll keep him safe." He imagined the look on Mrs. Peterson’s face, but felt no remorse. He was suddenly quite happy.
