In honor of Annalisa's one year anniversary of Cat and The Dreamer, her novella, she's hosting a blog hop! We're to talk about our imaginary friends in contract to the imaginary enemy in the story.
I had this friend named Zelda. Strange name for a black girl, but hey being a geek I found it awesome.

This is gonna sound really awkward –
but what I loved about her was her size. She was huge and could
really pack it away. I could just give her more and more and she
wouldn't get full and I'd just stare in amazement and tell her how
much I loved her.
Plus, she was super friendly. She got
along with everyone, no matter what side of the tracks you lived on,
and had no qualms about sharing. You would just eye something she had
and Zelda'ld hand it over, no problem.
She did have this one habit, trait
really, that got on my nerves all the time. Zelda had the worst
balance every. She'd take her time to get her footing set, and then whoops, she's on the ground. Sometimes it was a bump by a passing
person, other times it was a little tug on her clothes to get her
attention if she was busy staring at blinking lights or something
similar.
Being so large, it was inevitable that
her weight would get the better of her during one of her tumbles. And
so, in mid January she tumbled off a table and got a massive head
energy. She no longer eats, refuses to share. Really, at this point
Zelda is only capable of staring at those blinking lights she was so
fond of.
Surviving the next 18 months of my
Peace
Corps adventure without my
external hard drive is gonna be hard. RIP Zelda.
Great post. Poor Zelda! Thanks for taking part :-)
ReplyDeleteOf course!
DeleteLol! Great post. Poor Zelda and good luck with the peace corp. One of my sisters is participating in a few years and is really looking forward to the experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Doing Peace Corps is amazing, I wish your sister luck!
DeleteStrangely haunting story. I love how real you make her sound!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick! It took some effort, but I'm glad it paid off.
DeleteI eat way too much and am a total klutz. Zelda sounds a lot like me, with a much cooler name. :)
ReplyDeletePS:I like your background- I have the same on my blog.
Yeah, I have a habit of naming things and treating them like humans. Glad you thought Zelda sounded like she could be real!
DeleteVery original Zelda was and you have a cool way to tell stories. I could see her clearly in my mind. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeletePoor Zelda. I hope she recovers soon.
ReplyDeleteSadly, she's completely dead.
DeleteHow sad. Imagine a happy ending, okay?
ReplyDeleteWell, I did get a replacement. So that'll have to do
DeleteLOL, Zelda sounds like a real trooper, sorry she's on the blink. I do remember the first computer I got I name Ibem and chatted to all the time.
ReplyDeleteI name pretty much everything XD From lockers to cars to my phone
