Fork is your average dog. Fork loves to go to Walk, the place where-good-smells-come-from, and The Little One (the weaker, smaller version of the Big One). Any average dog fights their private, internal battles, and Fork is no exception. He battles the swell that appears when he thinks of The Silver Place, the Big-Ones-In-Gray, and being denied his Dirt by the brutish HIM. Fork’s life is upended when the Big One and Little One abruptly flee the home they live in, leaving Fork trapped with the neglectful and abusive HIM. That swell returns within Fork’s confines, he’s no longer taken on Walk, he’s lost the companionship of The Little One, and HIM forgets to feed Fork his Dirt…Fork’s wonderful imaginations and keen observations lead him to a fresh conclusion: if HIM were gone, The Big One and, more importantly, the Little One would return, as would also the normal Rituals; his swell would smooth and know peace once more. As Fork stands at the top of the stairs, looking down at the bent and Forever Still HIM, Fork begins an awful transformation…but that’s only the start of Fork’s Amazing Day!
