Filing a Claim
FORM P-1 — FELL ASLEEP
It happens to the best watchers. The Mutual does not judge; the Mutual was also up all night.
FORM P-2 — MOBBED BY SONGBIRDS
Attach no evidence. We have seen it. We see everything. That is the whole difficulty of our lives.
FORM P-3 — EXISTENTIAL
For the watcher who has begun to wonder who watches him. Processed gently, with soup.
"An eye on a pole is a threat. An eye that signed a mutual policy with you is a neighbor. The difference is the paperwork, and we are very good at the paperwork."
