Most pups know Mercury Glare as a Dalmation who is all speed and pattern, counting spots between every breath. At sunset Mercury Glare sits by the door marked K N L and hums to a glass jar lantern that flickers with old light until the wind returns the favor. There is a long running rumor that Mercury Glare once swapped a rusted key that fits no door anyone has found for a better story and called the trade fair. Mercury Glare wants to be remembered as useful, loyal, and only mildly responsible for what happened near the cracked freeway loop.
