Solipsism
Spike: A Nice Warm Body
Well… it is about time! My kibble bowls were nearly empty and my water had gone flat.
And don't get me started about my litter boxes…
Although, to his credit, the skinny one had left his coat on the floor, so I took a nice long nap on it. I like the way his coat smells – it smells like him and it's an exceedingly agreeable scent. It was a very good nap indeed.
Nevertheless, it gets lonely around here when it's just me and the TARDIS.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. Sure I talk to her. She's a good friend and she always says nice things to me.
Still, she's not a warm body to snuggle with when I want to sleep.
Which is what I'm looking for right now: a nice warm body. My three playmates have all retired – the skinny one, his best buddy, and the new guy.
As I pad around I notice two of them are together, in the same bed. I doubt I'd be welcome there. That leaves me the one who's alone; I figure he'll probably appreciate a little friendly company.
And isn't that just what I have to offer?
