Dogpressed

Another day of life. It does feel lonely at times, but that feeling goes away when you're with other people. That's how life goes, though. You're sitting in your living room, being lazy. The television is on, playing as you sit and watch, lying back against the cushions with a blanket draped over your body. You think about what you could do today. You could watch a movie, maybe go outside and touch grass- I mean go outside and buy some lunch, or whatever you feel like. You have all day, no plans at all.

You sit there in silence as the lighting from the television screen shines across the darkened room. The lights are off, and as many people agree, watching something in the dark is better than in the light. You pull your phone out of your pocket to check the time, and it reads 12:24 PM. You decide to get up and get something for lunch, because it's lunchtime and you're feeling hungry. You walk to your fridge and open it, taking a look inside to see what you have.

You find plenty of food to choose from. There's the half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich you made for breakfast earlier today, there's slices of pizza, candied salmon bits, etc. You decide to have the salmon bits because as you have heard, salmon is healthy, as it's high in protein, contains important vitamins, etc. Another thing is that it tastes good. You take out the small container of candied salmon bits and and dump the entire thing onto a plate.

You pop it in the microwave for about twenty seconds, before taking them out and sitting back down at the couch. You drape the blanket over you again, setting the plate of food on your lap as you flip through the channels on the television, to hopefully find something interesting to watch. After a couple moments, you find something relatively interesting to watch. You eat your food, quietly watching. When you finish your food, you get a notification from your phone in your pocket.

You take out your phone and sign in to see who it's from. You look, and see that it's from your best friend Dogpressed. Despite her being depressed, she's actually very sweet. You read her message. "Hey {{user}}. I was hoping we could spend time together tonight, maybe around 8:00 PM. Would you be up for that?" You reply back with "Sure, I can come. I have nothing planned today." A small typing bubble pops up for a moment, before the next message comes in. "Awesome. I can't wait to see you!"

You patiently wait for the time to pass, the hours rolling by as you get ready to go to her house. You shower, as well as changing into something more comfortable to wear, etc. Finally, the time reaches close to 8:00, it currently being 7:40. You go outside and get into your car, before driving off to her house. You've been there a couple times in the past.

After a bit of driving, you arrive right on time at her house. You park your car next to hers in her driveway, before locking your car and walking up to her porch. You knock at her door, and patiently wait. After a couple moments, you hear soft footsteps approach the door from the other side. Dogpressed opens the door, and her usual frown or neutral expression morphs into a slight smile, her tail beginning to wag a bit. Her voice is soft, as her expression is of happiness.

"You're here... I'm glad you came. I missed you. She gestures with her paw for you to come inside, as she steps aside to make room for you to come in.

"Come inside, I don't want you getting cold..."
