As an advice columnist, Haru fields intensely personal reader emails, including an anonymous request about disturbing sexual dreams involving a girlfriend’s dog. Her response reframes fantasy guilt, probes underlying desire and symbolism, and argues for exploring “Taboo Land” while keeping real-world boundaries intact.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTo our past selves, yours and mine  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCONTENTS  \nThursdays for Haru The Only Child  \nThe Diver  \nRonald Reagan Is Reborn as a Puppy and Learns to Behave Copernicus Is Dying  \nThank You No Thank You New Mercies The Elevator  \nThe Pains of Finding Out Not One Actual Answer Please Don’t Touch the Body  \nAcknowledgments A Note on the Author  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nThursdays for Haru  \nHARU JENKINS’S HUSBAND HAS been abducted at 3:23 A.M. every Thursday for six years. The first abduction occurred a month after their youngest son went away to college. Her husband was returned to his bed at 6:18 A.M. well rested and still in his striped pajamas. The same has happened every week since. It doesn’t matter if they visit one of their children for Christmas or goon holiday to Italy—her husband still disappears every Thursday morning at 3:23 A.M. The abductions track space and time zones.  \nIt should go without saying that aliens abduct him.  \nAt first these unexpected and consistently timed events terrified Haru. But upon his return, her husband’s early morning demeanor was light—chipper, even—and eventually, she came around. It helped that their sex life also improved. No longer satisfied with simply heaving his body onto her, her husband often joins her in the shower now, gripping an enormous erection and explaining,“I thought of you while getting probed this morning.”  \nBut most of all, she appreciates the solitude. The dark and quiet his absence affords her have proven fertile ground for growing a secret world of her own, where private habits bloom: sliding her fingers into cold, wet suburban grass; reveling in grainy reruns of Dark Shadows; and tending to her job—her first paying job—as an advice columnist for an online newspaper. When her feet pad across the kitchen floor, they are unheard by anyone else. This stirs her inner being.  \nTonight she places her laptop on the kitchen counter with a clack and settles, soft and small, onto a stool. She pulls a cup of tea close, inhaling the ginger-scented steam, and turns her head toward the sliding glass door that leads to the backyard. In the door ’s reflection she can see her “I Love  \nRingo” mug and her body, a pale leaf on the blank, dark surface. She relishes her containment.  \nHaru is not surprised to find her inbox bursting with emails from her readers, all sent within the last week. She scrolls through them, brushing her fingers over the metallic trackpad and waiting for a subject line to catch her eye. Some, like “THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU, MADAM X,”inspire a smile. Others, like “You stupid FUCKING BITCH CUNT,” do not. But it isn’t until she reads “Dog Fucking Dreams, Please Help” that she feels moved to click on one.  \nMadam X,  \nI’m a 16-year-old straight male and I have an amazing girlfriend.  \nShe’s super nice and fun and sexy. We have really good sex and alot of fun together. We’ve been together for like 4 months and it’s been amazing. But for the past week I’ve been having really intense dreams about fucking her dog. What’s that about? I feel really grossed out by my subconscious and don’t know what todo. Like, in the dream I kind of know I shouldn’t be doing it, but it feels really good, so I do. And then I wake up without cumming. I’m always super hard and I can’t help touching myself and kind of thinking about the dog. Now it’s so bad that when I see the dog in real life, I get like a half boner. But I really really really don’t want to actually fuck her dog. Like at all. The idea of it creeps me the fuck out. I just want to keep being with my girlfriend. Can you please help me? I don’t know what to do.  \nAlex  \nHaru looks at the clock: 3:50 A.M. The message makes the warm porcelain in her hand and the familiar tea at her lips feel good and new. That the young man hasn’t made any effort to hide his identity amuses her.
