Welcome to Pet-N-Go! This is a place where dreams come to life, and the friend you’ve always wanted is right here for you, waiting. We think of it as just a little slice of the afterlife right here in the current life.
Many people think negatively about us, though. They tend to see us as a vicious factory who manufactures animals as if they were products that ultimately turn into consumers, all in a grand scheme to sell more products.
Nothing could be further from the truth. We like to think of Pet-N-Go as a “bottomless pit of adorable babies.”

I submitted this title because I had written a piece of flash fiction (~150 words) and wanted to see how the idea would flow into something else. Here’s my original story (which was actually titled “Glen Canyon Dam”):
We’d traveled hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of miles into the deepest recesses of the desert land to see the Bottomless Pit of Babies for ourselves. We all peered down into the abyss, my father holding me up
over the edge for a better look.
“See, look over at those ones. They’re trying to climb out. Isn’t that the cutest?”
We all peered down into the seething, teeming bowl of fresh babies–mewling, crawling, naked, red, and raw, faces scrunched and fists balled, crying out for the mothers from which they’d be ripped away, screaming at the fathers that let them go.
Yeah, it was a bottomless pit of babies. That was for sure. And we all saw it. Paid for the pleasure, even. Oh, and they even set one up for display up there. So we could all see what they looked like, up close.
But it was just a baby.
Hey, thanks for posting that, “Glen.” Very Kelly-Link-ish. Hope you liked Jeremy’s version as much as I did!
