SOMA | The Meme Dump

Yeah. It’s a good long jog. This is our chill spot.

NICK

I came to pick up Deltoid. To take him to the vet. He coughed up something weird. I came home and noticed it lying on the floor of my place.

LEVON

...

Levon begins to squirm. Nick pulls out a plastic bag from his purse.

It contains a ruptured condom, with fingerlike Soma mushrooms growing up out of it.

NICK

What do you make of this? Fucking Lovecraftian, eh?

LEVON

Wow. Wow. That’s weird.

NICK

Looks like mushrooms? Has Deltoid been into the garbage or something?

Levon turns to run. Nick lays a strong hand on Levon’s shoulder and stops him.

NICK

Hey! What's wrong with you?

Levon panics. He wraps his arms around Nick’s leg and foolishly tries to pick him up.

LEVON

Bodyslam!

Nick shrugs Levon off. He grabs hold of the dog walker’s arm.
