RemembeRED: Personification

Write on Edge: RemembeREDDo objects have a memory? Does a rocking chair hold the essence of the snuggles it has witnessed? Does a pottery mug remember the comforting warmth it offered a struggling soul?

The dictionary defines personification as “the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.”

This week, tell a piece of your story from the point of view of an object who bore witness.

400 words or less. Link up with us on Tuesday’s post.

And special thanks to Terry for the idea!

    The first thing that came to my head is the movie “Toy Story.” All the toys knew everything about Andy. Wow. I really need to get out.

    Holy crap! This is freaky! I was thinking, on Friday, about doing this! I spent the whole day cleaning my house and kept thinking about the stories each of the artifacts in my home could tell. I was afraid I would forget about the idea before I ever wrote at least one story down! Thanks for lighting the fire to make sure I devote the time this week.
