Otter's Toy Box


Yolanda Olson - 2017
    It quickly becomes a want; a longing that consumes me. It's escaped me for so long. Every desperate attempt I’ve made to obtain it has been in vain so far. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was the day I found it. Waiting to be bought; waiting for a new owner. Waiting for me. It's taken me a long time and it's been a hard road, but it's mine; it always has been and now no one can take it away from me. No matter how hard they try. It: It has waited a long time to finally have an owner. Years of mistreatment and neglect had it scared that it would never have a home to call its own.

But was that home all it hoped it would be?
