Ever seen something in real life that just made your mind either come to a screeching halt or else run away with a thousand thoughts at once? That happens to me sometimes. Just a fleeting image, a simple scene, but it evokes such powerful emotion in me that I can’t help but be inspired. One day I was driving through Indiana or Ohio. It had been snowing within the past day or so and though the roads were clear, the ground on either side was covered with a pristine, undisturbed layer of snow. Sitting perfectly on top of the snow was a brightly colored teddy bear.
It made me think, now how did that get there? I found myself making up a story about it, and this is what I came up with. Be warned: it contains disturbing content and imagery, so reader discretion advised. It was difficult to write at times and I feel like I’m baring some dark part of my soul here. I don’t know where it came from. Nothing like this has ever actually happened to me, though sadly I’m sure something similar happens every single day to some child in the world.
Comments welcome…I kinda threw this together on the spur of the moment and would like to see what others think. I didn’t write it for myself or anyone else to get off on it, so please don’t send me any hate mail accusing me of being a sicko. I also didn’t intend to offend anyone with it. It is what it is, and once it was in my head I had to write it.
