I was raised in a three bedroom house: one for me, one for my parents and one for our guests. The Guest Room. Only... we never had any guests. I secretly wished my folks would have another child to put the Guest Room to use. The room seemed so lonely. So very lonely.

Great sextuplet. I worried about inanimate objects too! I was always extra friendly to them because they seemed so lonely. :'[
Excellent.
I like it. I had a weird transitional phase when I went off my stuffed toys - I put them in a cupboard, then the guilt set in and I took them out again. Put them away again, took them out again...
But I like this 6 because I wanted a younger brother or sister too.
I was an only child in an unhappy home. This piece reminded me of how alone I was. Great 6 because, you made me reflect.
Re: the feelings of inanimate objects...
Ha ha, B! I wish we had talked about this in the day. I used to put different shoes together so they didn't have to talk to the same damn shoe all the time (their mate). Even if they WERE sole mates.
and I continue to ponder and
feel for the emotions of objects-
good to know there is another
person out there who is out there.
