“Oh, so you thought you could encroach upon my space and get away with it?”

That’s funny. You can’t. You’re not going to get away. The first one was just a feeler. You guys didn’t do anything. This next one is going to be fun. They sell a lot. And having you guys in that space is a little bit of a threat. Therefore, I’m simply going to do this. I don’t know- I kind of feel like a mastermind. Not criminal. It’s a dog eat dog world. That was punny. If I could track then real time, and had a monitor in front of me, then that image that I have in my head would be realized. As it is, I can’t, and I don’t. But the effect is the same. One is on her way to one. The other is on his way to another. I needed only one. Two might be overkill. But why not? I want to over kill you. Bury you in the ground so you don’t come back. We tested the locals. They’re terrible. You are the only one that isn’t. You need to be put down. Also a dog pun. The dog isn’t too much of a competition. The real fun is where the cats come out to play. And now that you’ve finally fixed your fucking cat food, the game is afoot. Game of cat and mouse. And we, I, am the day. You are the little mouse who doesn’t know that he’s about to be pounced on. Give me a minute, my phone is ringing.

“Yes? Yes. Ok, good.” It’s done. She is done. They took her very seriously. She sounds good at her job. She was instructed to cry and wail. Tell them her cat died because of your food. You and I know that she can’t have. But she did. She said that. And they believed her. This complaint will go to the highest office in that company. And then you’ll be out of there. What next? Well, nothing. If you choose to not fight. If you choose to keep fighting, there’s plenty more where that came from. This is a matter of my livelihood. It’s also yours but I’ve been here longer. Besides, you guys have plenty of other things. I only have this. And some bird food. And some other things. But this is the big portion. Am I a bad person? I don’t think so. I’m just doing what is necessary for my company. All is fair in love and war. And this is a little sortie. The war hasn’t begun. This is the warning shot. Sorry, give me another second. That was a video. The other one sent a video. He was loud. Angry. Raucous. A customer that was picking your food off the shelves, she put it back. The sales boys tried to appease him. He would not be appeased. Hold on, another text. Nice. They’ve already been instructed to remove your cat food from the shelves. Check. Your move.
