It’s possible we overthought this.

We were looking for pictures of groundhogs since they’re the thing today. They’re kinda funny looking, but they look like they’d have a crabby sense of humor.

Take this guy. We really like this one due to his shape. We describe it as “water droplet”. It’s possible this is our spirit animal.

We imagine his name is Amos. He’s especially fond of Oreos and lightly toasted wheat bread. He enjoys Shakespeare in the Park and, inexplicably, Nicholas Sparks movies. He hates it when his bed sheets come untucked and when the UPS man leaves packages with him for his neighbors.

He works as an insurance actuary; numbers are his thing. He’s up for a promotion but his rival, Reginald, will probably get it because he’s a total kiss-ass.

Amos has a crush on the barista at the local coffee shop. Her name is Monica, but she’s dating a hipster squirrel and doesn’t give our hero the time of day.

And that’s what happens when you’re a writer.
