Most people had cats, dogs, birds, or even snakes. Stephanie had a black goat that she called “Mr. Boots”, although he insisted to be called “Gregor”. She loved Mr. Boots and tried to give him a happy home, but she could tell he wanted more. “Bring me souls”, Mr. Boots whispered to her at night. Stephanie just laughed and scratched underneath his chin. “Silly.”
