Pet
We had to sell the car to buy the giraffe. I'd always wanted one - two, actually, but we compromised. It wasn't happy under the stairs, so we gave it its own room and painted it pink, which was its favorite color. It caused a stir taking it for walks, and we were banned from the dog park. I fed it fish fingers, and that was my mistake. It ran away, to the suburbs, and was last seen hunting on Acacia Avenue. I miss my giraffe, but I'm glad it's happy. And I don't feel so bad, now I have a cat - a lynx actually. I'd always wanted one, or two, but we compromised.
