Character 16 of 22

Wally

Wally has a habit of drifting off mid-walk, apparently mid-thought, and reappearing a minute later as though nothing happened. Where he goes in that minute is one of the enduring small mysteries of walking him.

Wally drifts off mid-walk and comes back a minute later as though nothing happened. Nobody has established where he goes. He has never once seemed to think it needed explaining.

The minute is always about a minute. That consistency is somehow the strangest part of it.
