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

Typewriter-style note on cream paper, dated 05/18/26. Three paragraphs of monospace text reading: "Someone opened a fermentation lab in the old creamery. They make beetroot beer on Tuesdays. They have a newsletter. This is Camp Puppy Haven, Vermont. It was Monday, May 18th. It was warm in Camp Puppy Haven, a storm had come through. We were working the morning watch out of Phone-In-The-Hand Task Force. My partner's Murph. The boss is Lieutenant Pickles. My name's Puppy. A man was photographing his fermenting carrots. The carrots had nowhere to be. The man had plans." Signed THiNK LiKE A DOG.
