[Scene: a dark closet corner, just after taxes have been mailed. Peekaboo’s eyes glow in the gloom as Yeti spots her.<\/i>]<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: It’s safe to come out now.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: It’s over. We made it. They made it. I thought we’d be counting the bodies by now.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: It wasn’t that bad.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Oh, the horror! <\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: I think you may have PTSD.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Letters! Not more letters! IRS! PTSD! OMG!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: There, there…you’re traumatized…just keep reminding yourself it’s over – and you made it just fine. And you didn’t even do anything – Missus did it – and she’s fine too.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: [Twitching<\/i>] The paper stacks…some of them are still…out there<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Don’t let them cause you to cower in here. Reclaim your life. Face your fear. They can’t do anything to you now.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Not for another year…but then it starts again.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Well, actually, there are sales<\/i> taxes too, in December….<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: [Glares at Yeti<\/i>] Oh, not<\/span> helping<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: At least she doesn’t do much business….<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Oh great…now<\/i> it’s bad both<\/i> ways. I’ll have night terrors about running out of noms!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Now, now, you know they’ll never let us starve. You’re just tired from all this stress. Remember the lesson you taught Missus about napping? She’s sleeping right now. Go join her.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Yes…that’s a good idea. A nap. [Hops on the bed, delicately navigating a few lingering document copies and folders to reach Missus<\/i>]<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: [Whispering encouragingly<\/i>] Very good…you’re doing great.<\/p>\n

Missus<\/b>: Mmrmff…[feels Peekaboo’s fur brush her hand, instinctively embraces her<\/i>] Zzz.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: [Cuddles<\/i>] Purrrrrrrrrr….<\/i><\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: [Tiptoes out<\/i>] Now, we can get back to…um, ab<\/i>normal.<\/p>\n
