Today's field note from Sgt. Puppy and the morning watch at Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.
A man was out in the back field with a forked apple branch, dowsing for water. The well digger is already booked for Tuesday. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont.
It was Monday, June 15th. It was warm in Camp Puppy Haven, the light going long, storm had come through last night. We were working the day watch out of Existential Dread Mitigation. My partner's Doris. The boss is Captain Finn. My name's Puppy.
The branch hadn't twitched. The man kept walking. We let him.
