SOMA | The Meme Dump

LEVON

Stop! Deltoid! Kona!

They stop in the shadow of a billboard that has been erected on the side of the road. It's an advertisement for a new condo development.

Levon looks up at the ad.

LEVON

The fuck...

The ad features a photo of a Border Collie with angel wings soaring through the air. It reads :

BE THE HERO: Hero Condominiums. Breaking ground next spring! Petfriendly! Proud sponsor of DOG DAY

One of the dogs squats in the shadow of the advertisement and begins to defecate.

LEVON

No, Simon! Too soon, boy!

A fourinch condom filled with magic mushrooms emerges from the dog’s anus, followed by a handful of wellformed droppings.

Levon’s eyes dart around, checking for approaching cars. He slips a plastic bag over his hand and scoops up the mess deftly. He tosses the suppository and the droppings into his backpack.

Levon and the pack walk into the field. The animals seem to know the route well. They pass through a stand of birch trees that hides a derelict portable toilet, enveloped by weeds.

Levon ties the dogs to the trees, throws down kibble dishes. As the dogs eat, Levon removes two more condom suppositories from the animals. He pats their hindquarters appreciatively. The dogs are oblivious.
