monster under the bed

i was tearing up my apartment yesterday and ran across a bunch of things that I wasnt prepared for
and actually it was Breakfast that found one of them.

Under my bed is a small wooden box that has some of Moufa's things in it.
His collar and tags and 2 of his favorite toys.
Stuff i havent had the heart to get rid of

She pulled out his 'purple monster'
it is a rag of a thing
and he would carry it around by a tiny string that used to be the seam that held its head on.

watched her smell it for a long time
then she picked it up very carefully by what is left of its arm
and carried it to her blanket
she groomed it for about 20 minutes before she fell asleep on it.

he will be gone 3 years this summer


i think she misses that terror as much as i do
