30 Day Writing Challenge - Day Nine

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.
