Mundane

I’m a leapster you see i’m the one you give to your one year old child to distract them for a little bit. I’m all gross and covered with food. I’ve been in the family for 6 years. I was first brought to the large building that I know now is called a house. I first belonged to the eldest child shelby,I’ve been passed down 3 times. Once to Richard, then tyrus, and finally to Lorr.I’m blue and gray, the family has another leapster that's green and gray but smaller than me and doesn't work as well.

Im now old and unwanted, I sit on top of a shelf in the room with something that's called a television. I watch as they grow up, Shelby is 20 she has long forgotten about me, Richard is 18 and tyrus is 16.Lorr the youngest may not have forgotten about me.I still sit on the shelf alone and broken wanting to be used and played with. I remember the days when they would fight for me but now they fight for phone chargers.

    Ahh, reminds me of Toy Story a bit! I'm always intrigued by stories told from the point of view of inanimate objects. The idea of a discarded toy in particular is touching. I'm left kind of hazy on the details though - I want to know more in order to be able to fully put myself in this toy's head. What kind of food is it crusted with? What are its favorite memories with the children, that are making it so sad to look back on now? What is its name?

    And another question for you: Have you also tried writing from an animal's perspective before? That can be fun too, with more opportunity for action and emotion!
