During the course of the conversation, he confessed to me about a few weird incidents. He said that he had visions of aliens abducting him and demons sitting on his chest and performing some kind of satanic rituals.

He seemed gloomy, the reason being the ill health of his dog. I assured him his dog will get well soon, and that he should stay positive. This got me thinking about how quickly we get attached to our pets, be it dogs, cats or fishes. They become our support system in no time, teaching us how to tackle life’s petty problems.
