ANIMALS TALKING IN ALL CAPS

[IS SHE STILL TALKING? IS IT MY TURN? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE I SAID SOMETHING? WHAT WAS THE LAST THING I SAID? HAVE I TALKED AT ALL? IS SHE TALKING TO FILL THE SILENCE WHERE MY TALKING SHOULD BE OR IS SHE JUST MAKING NORMAL CONVERSATION THAT I’M NOT FOLLOWING? OH GOD I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE’S BEEN SAYING. HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN WONDERING ABOUT HOW LONG IT’S BEEN SINCE I TALKED? FIVE MINUTES? AN HOUR? SHE COULDN’T HAVE BEEN TALKING FOR AN HOUR, COULD SHE? IS SHE TALKING RIGHT NOW OR IS IT MY TURN? WHAT IS THE LAST THING I SAID? DID SHE ASK A QUESTION? WAS THAT A QUESTION? OH GOD HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE SHE STOPPED TALKING? DON’T PANIC. JUST THINK FOR A MINUTE. NO! YOU’VE BEEN THINKING FOR AN HOUR WHILE SHE’S BEEN TALKING. SHIT. OKAY, THINK BACK. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING SHE SAID? OH, THIS IS BAD. THIS IS NOT GOOD. HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE SHE STOPPED TALKING? LIKE, TEN MINUTES? OKAY, STOP THINKING AND JUST … SAY … SOMETHING. ANYTHING.]

… SORRY, I MISSED THAT LAST PART.

I ASKED IF YOU WANT ANY MORE POT.

NO. NO, I THINK I’M GOOD. THANK YOU.
