It was a beautiful Thursday for everyone except Dean it seemed. He was a bit angry that his wife Ana wouldn't be at home that night. Ana was a doctor at the Federal Community hospital. It was her off day and had initially planned on spending the entire day with her husband Dean but their plans were cut short when Ana received an important call from a very important person. She hurriedly got dressed and left for the hospital.
"At this rate, when are we ever going to make babies"
Dean thought to himself as he ransacked the kitchen in search of a frying pan. Since Ana had to leave the house impromptu she hadn't prepared dinner, so he decided he'd fry some eggs and microwave the remains of the spaghetti they'd eaten for lunch.
While searching for the frying pan he heard some strange sounds so he turned around and scanned the perimeter, but he didn't see anything. The noises continued and he discovered it was coming from his backyard. He walked slowly through the transparent sliding glass door that led to the backyard in search of what was making that sound.
He realized the sound was coming from behind the bushes. There was little light so he had to switch on the flashlight on his mobile phone.
As he approached the bush he noticed it was shaking. He used his hand to stabilize himself and bent to look at what was underneath the bush, and his eyes were met with the gaze of a black doberman. He moved back in shock before realizing it was just a stray dog. But he recognized this one. It was the one that always seemed to find its way to his house.
"You again, what are you doing here? Ana must have forgotten to lock the door when she was leaving. Get out! "
He shouted as he ushered the dog out of his compound. The dog left and he locked his compound gate. He returned to the kitchen to continue his search for the pan. A few minutes later, he managed to find the pan.
While he was frying the eggs a bee flew in through the window. He wasn't paying much attention and just picked up his fly swatter to swat what he thought was a fly. He tried to hit it and missed. This provoked the bee and it went stinger first into his plump neck. He shrieked in pain and began to panic when he realized it was a bee. He was very allergic.
His head began to spin and his vision became blurry. He staggered for a while before losing consciousness.
When he managed to open his eyes he realized his entire kitchen was on fire. He couldn't move, all his body was numb and he was sweating seriously. He tried to move but his body refused to cooperate. After so many failed attempts to call for help he decided to say his last prayers and die.
"How are you feeling my love" Ana said
"Ana? Where am I? What happened? " Dean said, struggling to sit up. Ana assisted him.
"You had an accident, the house was on fire, but thank God for him, he noticed the fire and was able to bring it to people's attention just in time. You have a few burns but you'll be okay. "
Dean looked down to see who saved his life and his gaze was met by that very same dog he had chased from his home.
