He took his job as public safety ambassador series.

At night compelled to monitor citizens through their tv screens to make sure that they were staying safe. When barks did sleep, he had nightmares and would wake with an involuntary jerk of his paws.

Bad bad barks only nodded and accepted the days. Script. It is in his teeth. He felt tired already, but he closed his eyes rolled the red ball of cooperation forward. In his mind, and began to learn his lines, suddenly Fur along his spinal ridge stood at the end of low rumble like distant thunder reverberated in his throat, the air directly in front,

It was wavy and mottled like tv static. He normally found static comforting, but it shouldn't be here not in this. Realm of static belongs inside the tv never ever outside. Barks yelped, three quick expressions of alarm they're just need to have an heroic reading an ad for dilate high grade could barks have mistaken, deb soup, nearly a century, a patch of haze, thrace, sinister leak of static, not to mention the fact that they have a history, maybe not a dramatic one, but they run into each other at the studio once before, god talking decided to meet up for happy hour at rockland, the bar annex attached, the bank accounts after a few drinks, leave and decided to leave together.

Her haze, sparkled with bits of green light from the exit side, making her look soft like devise, new transport barks felt something's within it. Briefly, like it had that afternoon, rochlitz you're gonna be replaced hawks. I heard some of the sheriffs deputies talkin when boats as to why deb said quote, he aren't playing ball barks. They throw the ball. You catch the ball, that's how file is way, it's a metaphor, but sometimes

the sheriff also likes to literally play ball and you're, not playing ball figurative. We are otherwise. He tried to pressure for more details, but deb was called back to set for them.

Sometimes the television watches you frederick nita, said that accepted already had caused issues. Listeners and those issues started on Friday night, with bucks on we,

When barks returned home that evening, he found a notice about the digital tower upgrade the oldtower would be shut down, which meant he would have to vacate his analogue steady find a new place to live on top of everything. Else he was being evicted. Works could exist in many mediums broadcast signal because the physical realm train dimensional space time, but the soft rush of static, the murmur of earth, noise and alien communication that was his home he loved his static analogue static, was where he felt safe and happy

sat for a long time, simply feeling the cosmic radiation tingle and pulse and breathe round his body, and then something happened to words bubbled up through the inky darkness of his mind, like a psychic message, a name Lenny laser disk, Lenny laser disk as long time night fell. Residence may recall, was

grimacing hand drawn figure from the old. You view video store labels back in the nineties. We always abided by his cute little warning. We wind or regret, and sometimes depending on the year rewind repent, rewind revenge. We wind poor, reptiles, less one doesn't sound so bad, like anyone. You forgot to rewind during that period, can tell you if they have their. Left. It was one of the worst of all, as the only two car to mascots bill marks, an lenny, known each other a long time they even up in ninety. Ninety one for a children's special called. Dare drone anti craft, retaliation, education and our law.

Animated musical about democracy, but works and lenny haven't spoken against us. Lenny was an outsider, iconoclasts conspiracy theorist completely out of touch with modern reality and right now. That was exactly what barks needed we interrupt this program for a public service announcement from the audubon society. If you see a bird nesting, please give it space. Birds require extra quiet and privacy. If you see a bird eating area do not attempt to identify the remains. You could be questioned later, and it would be easier if you didn't know too much. If a bird approaches you with its face tilted to this,

big parted and eyes smouldering with a fiery inner light, call your loved ones immediately update your last will and testament put your affairs in order. You have exactly forty hours to do all of this dope dawdle this is it baby, This has been a pierre say from the audubon society box on we searched for Lenny laser disk through late night infomercials and fast food ass. He hunted through the money, Madame canyons of an old western movie bathed in fake moonlight that test they shadows on the ground. It was all taking too much time. What am I even doing here, box,

He had his responsibilities to think about. He didn't have time to run around looking for an anti technology recluse. It was ridiculous worse, it was unsafe, agar, wolf. barks at almost given up when he finally found hold up in an old economy, large commercial the economy large that used to be out on route, eight hundred, where travellers on a budget could relaxing rooms only to wake up in the morning and discover that the entire places burned down in a brush fire exactly twenty years earlier than nice, great continental breakfast.

I watching it again before the returned return. The two mascots talked long into the night when he told box that the new tower wasn't just a digital tv signal. There was a whole antenna farm being built out there in the hills, sending things out taking things in unknown, invisible things, public safety hazard, Lenny, told barks, appealing to his civic, might nature and were the only ones that can stop it as barks. Listen to me growing fascination, Lenny detailed, a plan, would send out a subliminal message during Saturday night live the popular weekly broadcast that chosen.

Protein live shot of the sand, wastes on thursday night from eleven thirty seven p m until dawn. That message would instructs the townspeople go below up the new tv tower once the new tower had been destroyed, every would remain the way it was the static. Would continue its pulsating whispering comfort forever? or at least until the city raise enough money to build in town, and they already used up the entire budget on this tower, including the funds previously earmarked for the new mental health facility. It is almost too easy living slate. Spinning around with excitement. Lenny had seen drawn carpenters, they live backwards and forwards for honey, twenty seven times. He always wondered if

The limited messaging, could really work. If anyone could make it happen, he thought barks business parks did from his static. Well, he began broadcasting messages shortly after eleven thirty seven key have during the cold open of scuttling beetles the sheriff and their secret police found out as Saturday night live with its gorgeous unlit shots of locks in sage rush was their favorite. Countless television and barks was apprehended at eleven thirty nine p m
