Prompt: "Day 9 —What was your favorite childhood toy?"
Soft, cuddly and always available. I think that's a good description for what a lot of children have: a stuffed animal. Moose had the cutest brown fur and a little bobby tail which held a tingly bell (my favorite feature by far) and on top of hid soft ovalish head a pair of brown antlers. I used to take him everywhere except school (because I was afraid someone would take him and my mom wouldn't let me). I slept with him every night well into my middle school years. I had also developed a sense where I could telepathically communicate with him and we'd talk every now and then but most of our relationship was felt through emotions and senses. On the rare nights I didn't sleep with him I tucked him in with my other stuffed animals after wishing them a good night. We were all one big family.
I don't have him anymore - in effect my ex and I swapped our dearest stuffed animals so that we would have something precious of one another's. Moose protects her. Mr. Bear comforts me.
