     “Oh, that stupid question. Ok,    
What’d you find out? I’m sure you      
looked it up on the internet, got the  
answer, and are all so proud of how    
brilliant you are,” the voice from     
behind the vent said in a bored voice, 
“but since you went through all that   
trouble, feel free to bore me with it  
anyway.”                               
     That burst my bubble a little, but
not enough to stop me.                 
     “The reason they picked the actor 
was because he looked like someone a   
horse would talk to.”                  
     Instead of clapping its hands,    
Teddy said the words instead, “Clap,   
clap, clap, bravo, well done and all   
that other stupid human shit you say to
each other, when you’re pretending that
you really care about each other,”     
Teddy said, and then added, “Which you 
don’t, by the way.”                    
     “Who are you?” I had to ask, “And,
please don’t tell me you’re a tiny-    
little talking horse.”                 
     I heard a chuckle and the shadow  
pantomiming like it was looking at a   
watch on its wrist.                    
     “Ok, I can give you fifteen       
minutes, but then I got to get back in 
here and straighten things out, before 
Frankenstein and his evil assistants   
come in for the day.                   
     “Five minutes will be wasted while
you recover from the shock.”           
     “What does that mean?”            
     “It means, I’ll have to show you, 
because otherwise, you won’t believe   
me. Could you do me a favor and close  
the blinds, please?”                   
     “Show me what?” I asked while     
taking care of that, and I could hear  
something small jumping onto something 
like a table, and then to the floor.   
     I got back in the chair, and a    
half minute later, the door, that      
needed two people to open, opened. That
was supposed to be impossible, I       
thought, as I waited for someone, or   
something to walk out.                 
     It was a good thing I was sitting 
down, because after two full seconds, a
black Cat jumped onto the desk, and    
looked right at me.                    
     “Hello Wilburrr,” it said in a    
really cheap imitation of Mr. Ed.      
     Even though I was in a chair,     
sitting down, I still fell to the      
floor, but I never took my eyes off    
that mouth and jaw.                    
     “What the fuck!?” I said from the 
floor.
