The "sorry I killed your guinea pig" Playlist (23) Hannah Freibert

This takes place with my first memorable childhood friendship with the neighborhood kids.We were the only family they really knew on our street, so logically they entrusted us with a few simple tasks when they vacationed. Feed the dog and the guinea pig twice a day, get the mail every day, water the plants every other. My parents basically bribed my brother and I to take turns entering our neighbor's house and completing our "jobs". Mid-week was when it happened. In the morning, I went to feed the animals per-usual, but instead of finding the dog in the room designated his living quarter(which was gated off from the rest of the house), I found him in the kitchen. On the floor. Next to the guinea-pig-less guinea pig cage. While the guinea pig was never found, we all could assume how he met his fate. So here's a playlist I wish I had possessed when I was 9 and was partially responsible for the death of my neighbor's guinea pig.

1. (Don't Fear) The Reaper // Blue Oyster Cult- All death is inevitable, even your pet store rodent's. This pick is aimed at coming to terms with the death of your beloved rodent-beast-thing.

2. Disco Inferno // The Trammps- This is in the case that the body turns up and they wish to have it cremated. Burn (peacefully) baby burn.

3. Stayin Alive // The Bee Gees- Because what helps piece back together crushed childhood dreams like cynicalness and sarcasm?

4. Jumper // Third Eye Blind- This song accompanies the image of the guinea pig cage on the kitchen counter just moments before being thrown to the floor via dog.

5. Who Let the Dogs Out // Baha Men- ha. ha. ha. oops.x
