Fair Weather Friends

You don’t always get to choose your relations in life: it is neither your choice what family you’re born into, nor who you work with. This gamble doesn’t always work out, and is sometimes made especially more tragic because we spend the majority of our days working, and we must grow up with our family - regardless of who they are. That’s why it is important to choose carefully the relationships where choice is an option. You might think I’m talking about “friends” here. But, more specifically, what I mean are those little friends that come from a different species - our pets. Just as with human relations, we have to work and put a serious effort into developing the relationships we have with our pets. So make sure you are sincere with this effort. Otherwise, you risk only being Fair Weather Friends.

The “Curator” was voiced by Nicole Clark, and the story was read by Phillip Clark.

 

This, and every story, presented by the Hidden Archives is completely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. But, when it happens, it is somewhat disturbing, pretty cool, and kind of the point (sometimes).

 

Music: Theme is “Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 – 22 Variatio 21 Canone alla Settima” by J.S. Bach, and the story music was: “Moonlight Sonata Op. 27 No. 2 - III. Presto” by Ludwig Van Beethoveni.
