A girl and a boy were raring to go on a toy, but this one was for her and for her only. He could not understand why the thing was for her alone. Their romance made them feel as one, yet the item made him feel... The boy did not know sufficient words to express his feelings of immense distress. For he lamented with utter contempt because their relationship was now a mess. The object in question, long, silvery and pointy, was sent with dedication and she stroked it gently. The boy was mad with envy because he wanted to feel that pleasure and excitement, only every day he spent on the mat wearing a bright yellow hat that made him stand out in this century. Their relationship was tarnished and all because of one toy. She teased him on occasion by wearing it in her pocket. The boy with no arms was annoyed by that. She enjoyed writing with the silver crayon. He sensed her being giddy and went head-on But she paid no attention to the one with a yellow hat. For he was her first love, drawn on paper. Once she stopped, he was but a vapor. |
