Lolita
by Lucie Fleming
Yo yo yo
she’s alive!
haha indeed she is
hows the high life treatin’ ya?
can’t complain
still can’t believe you’re apartment sitting on central park
i feel like I should refer to you as Madame or something now
it’s pretty unreal
and you have the whole place all to yourself right?
for the most part
?
me and Lolita
Who?
The Huntingtons’ dog
wasn’t Lolita that weird book we had to read in Mr. Bates’ english class about the pervert who was trying to have sex with a twelve year old?
lol yes
why would someone name their dog that
it’s creepy
brb I have to feed her
kk
fuck
what’s going on?
dude there is something seriously wrong with this dog
what do you mean
i don’t think it’s breathing…
shit are you serious?
jackie this dog is their precious baby
they are literally going to kill me
okay don’t freak out yet
should i call the Huntingtons? this is horrible
maybe it’s just sleeping
Jackie this dog is not alive
jesus
Jackie I’m freaking out…she just dropped dead out of nowhere
okay stay calm stay calm
this happens! dogs don’t live forever
how am i supposed to explain this to them???
Katie this isn’t your fault
you didn’t give it anything weird to eat or anything right?
yes Jackie as a matter of fact I fed it an entire box of chocolate for dinner last night
okay chill I’m just trying to run through the possibilities of why this happened
I feel like i’m going to throw up
my stomach is twisting in knots
you’re absolutely sure it’s dead?
dead as a dog
okay well at least you’re maintaining your sense of humor
nothing about this is funny Jackie
this was my one responsibility in exchange for this apartment…i’m so so fucked
okay i think you should call them
maybe she was really sick and they forgot to tell you
I did everything I was supposed to do! she seemed completely fine this morning…
exactly so you just need to call them and explain that this was sudden and unexpected
she was probably a really old dog!
Jackie I cannot tell these people that their dog is dead
they are going to find out eventually!
i can’t believe this
just call and calmly explain
you aren’t dealing with psycho people
it’s like that expression about the messenger
don’t shoot the messenger?
yeah!
the reason that expression exists is literally because the person who delivers the information always gets screwed Jackie…
i’m gonna call now
it’s been nice knowing you Jack
you’ve been a great friend
drama drama drama
well??
hold on I’m talking to Mrs. Huntington
well…
you’re never going to believe what she wants me to do
???
she wants me to cremate the freakin dog.
what the hell…
and SAVE ITS ASHES
omg…
Jackie this is insane
what are you gonna do??
I have to go cremate it!
i’m going to take her to the place in midtown where we took Sammy when we had to put him down a couple years ago
Where are you going to put her???
i’m going to get my suitcase
you are seriously going to wheel around a dead dog in a suitcase down Park Avenue
what else am i supposed to do? sling it over my shoulder like i just hunted for it?
stay on chat with me while I wheel it down the stairs okay?
I can’t believe you’re doing this
Shit it’s so heavy
Sry it’s gonna be hard to type while I do this
Don’t let it fall out of the suitcase
obviously i’m going to zip it all the way up
it’s not like it needs to breathe
do you want me to come over and help you
i feel like this is a lot for you to have to deal with right now
no it’s fine I just have to do what Mrs. Huntington asked and maybe she won’t kill me in my sleep
that would be a lot of dead bodies in one upper east side apartment
okay here we go
jesus
fuck it’s so heavy Jackie!
are you going to take a cab?
if I can make it down these damn stairs
shit Jackie someone is coming up the stairs
who is it?
i don’t know
what do i do???
you need to act normal you don’t want anyone to ask you any questions about this
this guy is walking directly toward me
don’t talk to him Katie!
I look ridiculous trying to get this thing down
Jackie he’s trying to help me with the bag
Katie don’t
he’s being kind of persistent
just walk past him trust me you don’t want to have to explain this to someone
he’s blocking my path
Katie seriously this is going to make you look really suspicious
he’s offering to take the suitcase down for me
just tell him you don’t need any help
i could really use a hand to get this thing down
Katie don’t you dare tell him what’s in there
for all he knows it is just filled with your clothes and you’re going away for a weekend
i’m just going to tell him it’s filled with electronics
why do you have to tell him anything??
he asked me and it will seem weird if i don’t tell him something
it will seem like i’m trying to hide something
why is he so persistent about helping you
is he hitting on you?
dude I don’t know but i need help right now and he’s offering
Katie no just wait for me to get there I can jump in a cab right now and be there in 20
I’m just going to let him carry it down the stairs for me it’s not a big deal
Katie…
hold on one sec i’m going to run up and close the door while he takes it down for me
Katie don’t leave him with the dog!
KATIE
Did he bring the suitcase down for you?
Katie are you there?
??
Katie???
Katie you’re freaking me out
Jackie

He took the suitcase
holy
