BOWIE, SPANADOR, B. APPROX. 2014 Black, long-eared, 12 kg at last weigh-in. Last seen: asleep. Last seen before that: asleep. Distinguishing features: the way he falls asleep as though arriving somewhere. Habitat: the left side of the couch, the dent in the left cushion, the armrest's particular softness. Associated objects: one mug (vermillion, cooling), one book (open, face-down, page losing its place), one jacket (pooled over chair, owner temporarily elsewhere). Known to occupy a room's entire emotional centre without opening his eyes. Light falls across him at 3:47pm. He does not acknowledge this. His breathing is the loudest thing in the house. If found: he is not lost.
