The sound of a shattering figure of a dog lifting a barbell startled Josh as he shook his fist as if to fan away the pain he deliberately caused.

"Oh fuck. Kelly will kill me"

Josh stared at the screen once more paying little attention to the pieces of ceramics on the floor. A few minutes ago, he was just chatting with Leslie, a girl he had known since high school.
