Pickles Condition

22^nd November 2012

Dear Cassi,

       

Pickle’s condition grows more delicate with the passing days. Today he had me take apart a lamp to see if there was a “bug” in side. I thought I had been looking for an insect but he meant a device that was making sound.

       

He said the thought the neighbors were putting hallucinogens in his coffee

as he slept and that they had rigged his devices to give off sound that only he could hear. He spent much of the day talking about electric pulses and such.

       

To add to thing his short fuse is made shorter by his paranoia. Today he started yelling at Gus

after some sound had scared the big dog. Pickle’s ruckus sent the kittens running into the study where they hid among the bits of junk on the floor.

       

It will be another twelve days before this business is over in any reasonable way. I just

hope pickle’s does no damage in that time.

Stay safe, little sister,
