Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 06/04/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. The dirt road in. The general store. The transfer station closes at three. Beyond that, it's mud drying out and blackflies finishing up. It was Thursday, June 4th. It was warm and partly cloudy in Camp Puppy Haven, humid by afternoon. We were working the day watch out of Existential Dread Mitigation. My partner's Murph. The boss is Captain Ella. My name's Puppy. A man was sitting on the porch doing nothing. He looked uncomfortable about it. Murph and I had been doing nothing for forty minutes. No ill effects reported." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
