The Electric Fence Stopped Working Years Ago
15th August 2025
We were walking to watch the sunset when a dog started barking at us from a porch. From inside, a voice called out: “Don’t worry, he won’t leave the porch. The electric fence hasn’t worked in years, but he still won’t go past it.”
I stopped mid-step.
A dog, imprisoned by a fence that only exists in his memory.
The next question changed how I see everything: What electric fences do we have in our lives?
