[ WP ] You notice more `` Lost Pet '' signs than usual one day . Then you start seeing the signs everywhere you go . You realize you ca n't remember the last time you actually saw a dog or cat . What 's happening ?

I was shocked when I came home to find my dog missing. I had noticed that there were more missing animal posters than normal, but I thought it was just something random happening around town. Panicking I called up friends, family, and anyone that I knew that had a pet. All of them were missing. 
 
 I flipped on the news, headlines were spreading like wildfire that all household pets had vanished. Reports near the seaside were showing that sea life was vanishing at a comparable rate as well. 
 
 Utterly distraught I flipped through the channels, the headlines too much to bear. Why would Buddy just vanish. We had been through so much and I know that I had locked up the place before I left. 
 
 The newscaster was reporting on a new language detection system that was being tested. I was barely listening, no amount of software development could fill the hole that was left. 
 
 `` In a breakthrough of scientific development, a team based in San Diego has developed a method of communications with Dolphins. We go live to Seaworld, where they hope to test out their new systems. Hello, Tracy, you are live, whats going on there?'' 
 
 `` Hello Donna, I am live with the team that developed the software. We just got the first message through.'' 
 
 As the static crackles, I hear the sound of a dolphin, followed by a robotic voice, `` So long, and thanks for all the fish.''
