Review: I think I missed something

I'm not really sure I understand what this story was about. I believe that authors need to be careful when they use such a lengthy title for books and/or short stories and in my honest opinion, I think I enjoyed the title more than the story itself. There are a lot of questions still left unanswered after reading the story such as: why did the friend visit, what did the speaker get from the visit, why was there a dog that added nothing to the story except smelling the ground? The conversation between the speaker and his dead friend sounded as though it was a couple of young teens talking (although the topic fit an adult conversation), both parties kept repeating the same sentences over and over again. This was not due to editing, it was simply how the story was written. Dialogue can either make or break a story and in this case, it was the latter. Being that this story is based on the conversation, this was a huge miss for the author.
