Summary: A backpacks tale
Old reliable, old faithful; without judgment, without bias her constant companions waits. Ever stocked and readied by a loving mother. Who watches her run out the door with a smile and wave hiding her fears beneath that confident smile.
Passing through the ages through an unassuming well, it travelled on her back carrying everything she needed and more with her into a time so strange and different from her own.
Carrying gifts of ramen and pockie for the ones she loved, it never did receive its proper thanks for all the hard work it had done over the years.
Dirtied and torn, repaired more times than she could count. Loving stitches showed its battle scars from its time hoping journeys.
Now trapped on the modern side of the well, the ever ready old reliable yellow backpack has earned its retirement. Until one day the next generation may pick it up and the cycle will begin anew.
