The muse has gone back into hyperdrive. Taking liberties with the second one. We've never seen this object but I'm sure it had to have existed once

 


1999
 
She stares at me, tracing my pictures with a finger. There’s so many of her within my pages. I record her reign as queen of Sunnydale High and yet, I spark no memories in her. I might as well be a stranger. She doesn’t recognize the names of my Memorial Roll or understand that I’m the last of my kind. The 2000 yearbook will record an all-new school. I should be a window to her past but there is nothing left there. All I cause her is frustration and tears. Silently she puts me away.

Outgrown Toy
 
Holtz made me for him, a little stuffed toy of leather and fur. I quieted my boy’s tears when he had a nightmare. He cuddled me when he slept. He’s getting bigger now and his father thinks he’s outgrown me.  My boy fights to keep me. I’m his only friend, his only playmate. We’ve crawled through the grass together, climbed trees, slain monsters and were king of the world. My time can’t be over. My boy wails as I’m ripped from his hands and consigned to the fire. Father insists it’s time for my boy to grow up.

Yet one more reason for Holtz to DIE!!! You never steal a kid's stuffed animal!

Angel should've eaten that man, I swear.

I planned on working that into a longer fic. Maybe a sequel to The Games of Childhood where he has that stuffed toy Steven keeps sewing together when it breaks

He still needs to die. Slowly and painfully. I bet he'd want to put Spot to sleep, too, when she gets older.

I see I have to make you rescue Spot from that horror.

I suspect Spot isn't long for the world

Jenn and I both warned you what we'd do if something happens to Spot.

You know how much I hate stories where the pet dies.

See, Spot needs to live. Happily. And die of old age, in her sleep.

That's not a bad death. Still, I prefer the other.
