Ben's coworker ignored him, and he abandoned the "butt" idea almost as quickly as he said it. He tried to think of something better to blog about, but nothing came to him. He decided to just post a picture and make some stupid comment about it. He began an image search with the phrase "talking dog."
And back in Narnia...
Portland arrived at home and turned on her old, barely functioning computer. It gradually whirred to life, and Portland rushed as quickly as she could to find the blog Aslan had directed her to. She googled the title and clicked the first link. It delivered her to an orange page with some pictures and some words on it, and that's when Portland remembered--she was illiterate!
"I'm illiterate, Aslan!" she yelled. "I can't read the blog! What should I do?" She lowered her head in resignation and leaned against the screen. "I'll never get out of Narnia," she said. "My dreams of getting a steady job where they don't think I smell like tacos will never come true."
And then she fell forward into the computer screen.
And then back in Earth again...
Ben's image search for a talking dog was proving fruitless. None of the pictures came with audio, so it could not be verified whether any of the pictured dogs could actually talk. Ben, however, would not be slowed by common sense and decided to post about a talking dog anyway. He clicked on to the next page to find a more suitable picture, but as soon as the page loaded, a live dog burst out of the computer screen.
"Hello," the dog said. "My name is Portland."
"Whoa," said Ben, "you smell an awful lot like tacos."
