Olivia Handschin – EUREKA
by Olivia Handschin
A few years ago, a winnie the Pooh Sock tumbled underneath her bed. The mattress was too small for the frame, causing things to fall regularly between the wooden panels. Winnie hoped the little girl would look under the bed, but kids are often terrified of looking there, invoquing an innate fear of the darkness and all of its monsters. In fact, what lay beneath was a peculiar place, one that collects all those forgotten bits and pieces that slip between the panels— a kind of portal to a forgotten realm, buried beneath dust and old storage boxes. It was the worst fate any household item could endure— a kind of limbo— and depending on the household, it may take a long time before you are found again, if you are ever found at all.
