Hey, people of the apocalypse, it's DJ Dustbowl back with some… pretty sombre news this time around.

---

Folks, I'm afraid that… that Sam's no longer going to be a part of the show.

---

She was the best friend anyone could have had… the best friend I ever had, and I'd like to think that she brought some warm feelings to y'all who are listening.

---

I'm not going to lie.

---

In the hour I spent staring at my setup before going on air, I've been wondering if anyone still has it in themselves to care about some lonely radio operator's dog dying.

---

There's so much death already going around.

---

How much room's left for even more grief?

---

So, I decided to go on air anyway.

---

It gives me hope, folks.

---

There's hope in thinking that I'm sharing this with someone, and that's what I want this broadcast to be about, because in hell, what more can anyone have apart from hope?

---

So, I've brought out my old acoustic.

---

Sam's in a different world now: outside time, outside space.

---

I want to do a little something to honor her… and us.

---

We who are still here.

---

Please, y'all, forgive me if this sounds a little rusty.

---

Sam, you were a good dog and, People, for the love of God… take care of yourselves.
