A Danger to Himself

by Rachelle Allen


        “Marcus!!! NOOOO!”

        I look at the empty container on the table, then at his lifeless extremities.

        “How many did you take?” I know I am screaming, but I can’t seem to stop.

        I work to get him upright, but he’s large and recalcitrant. His moans sound more like a growl. He will be no help; I'm on my own. I wrack my brains to remember when this last order was filled.

        All I know for sure is that it’s going to be a long night if all forty of those Milk Bones from Chewy.com are in this stupid dog’s stomach.
