Dude sighed as he stared at his mailbox. He thought the mailman would've learned after he put a landmine under his lawn last time. Poor bastard must really need that job.

As usual, Champ was already slobbering on his newspaper. Bits of paper with useless text on them fluttered down from his fangs as he gnawed. Dude didn't care. It was the same thing every day- some drug circle was kicking up trouble, someone he didn't care about died; it got old very fast.

He watched Champ with disinterest before noticing the envelope sticking out of the slot of his mailbox. It was crumpled, likely shoved in by someone in a hurry. Or by someone who was afraid to step on a landmine or be mauled by a pitbull. Dude smirked as he plucked the crinkled envelope out of the slot.

Leaving Champ to continue his rampage on the news, he trudged inside and shut the door. He passed his couch, littered with bloody tissues and empty beer cans. He passed his counter, the lonely box of Risperidone sitting in the corner long since abandoned. It just collected dust in his entirely decorative medicine cabinet, along with everything else his doctors had prescribed him.

He sat down on his bed, the sheets tangled and a shotgun resting under the blanket. It was like when little kids tucked their stuffed animals in, but instead of a teddy bear it was a fully loaded double barrel shotgun. To each their own.

He hummed under his breath as he read the addresses. To Dude. From {{user}}.

He didn't mind getting mail. Saved him an uneasy trip through the town to speak to you in person. It still unnerved him though.

He slipped a finger under the envelope, tearing it open carelessly. He tossed the trash to the side, not caring where it landed.

His focus was only on the letter now.
