All the puppets are at the gallery. All but one!
I was short of one puppet stand and I had to decide which one to leave out. First of all I asked for a show of hands, but nobody volunteered. They are all very keen to be shown off to the world. They want to be famous and they believe being on display will finally bring about their big break. Never mind that they might be sold and that would mean they won’t be coming back to the house, will loose all their close friends, and we’ll never hear from them again. You certainly will have gathered by now they are not particularly good planners. They don’t worry about implications. They just live in the moment and dream of being famous.
Since no-one held their hand up, I decided to take Two-faced home. She is the only puppet I dislike, and I really mean it. Two-faced is not my thing!
Surprisingly, she didn’t mind hopping back in the box. I think she saw her chance to have me all to herself for two weeks. Now she is sitting on the cutting mat in the office and so far we haven’t spoken to each other. Two-faced just smiles, but I have no idea what she is thinking when she looks at me.
The forsaken one! She doesn;t look too bothered though, does she? Tony
That’s her good face :) The only give-away is the snake skin on that side. Wait until you see her other side, with the impatient venomous expression. I believe the dislike is mutal :)
Aren’t you worried that she will create some kind of mischief for you…especially since you have made it clear in words and actions that you don’t care for her? And…yes there needs to be an “and”…since in a slightly twisted way you can be seen as her “parent/mother/creator” and can you blame her if she rejects you?
you are right artistatexit0. I can’t blame her, I haven’t treated her well and now that we are on our own I try to make up for it. She is allowed to sit right next to my work station all two weeks and we are starting to bond. She doesn’t say much, but I think now this is only because she doesn’t know how to start a conversation. I guess I have to help her out here.
