Sticks in the Snow: A Mr. Doberman Adventure

By Christopher Beyers

The hidden narrator from The Visibility Trick has been outed. The footnotes have mostly dried up, and in this (the second installment of A Mr. Doberman Adventure series) the perspective has shifted from third-person limited to third-person omnicient.

Mr. Oswald has entered the chat.

Mr. Psychologist has entered the chat.

Vladimir has entered the chat. You don't want to know who that is.

The same characters you knew and maybe tolerated have returned, with more complexity.

On Misterland, Mr. Doberman's little act of rebellion is causing more of a stir than we anticipated. And he hasn't expired yet. What the third literal thumb?

In Paris, North Dakota, human life has proven to be a fragile thing one mustn't poke at. Like a stick, buried in the snow. (Hold on. I'm going to bungle this. Let's let The Confused Oracle take over.)

It may stretch a thousand leagues
And snake under the sea,
Or be a point, just like the sting
Of some poor bumblebee.
You may wish to uncover it,
To see which way it bends.
But peek, and this I swear to you:
You won't like how it ends.

The Confused Oracle elaborates on the metaphor, of course. But you don't really want to hear her next couplet. Do you?
