The Lost Thing

00:00:15 The Lost Thing.

00:00:45 Others so terrible, you would never want to repeat them.

00:01:06 I was as usual working tirelessly on my bottle top collection.

00:01:35 You know, a sad, lost sort of look.

00:02:41 It turned out to be really friendly.

00:03:07 As the hours slouched by it seemed less and less likely that anyone was coming to take the thing home.

00:04:06 I took the lost thing over to Pete's place.

00:04:55 Some things in life are like that, he said.

00:05:14 I already knew that Mum would be concerned about how filthy its feet were.

00:05:32 Not that that made any difference.

00:06:55 The Lost thing seemed happy there. But I sure couldn't keep it in the shed forever.

00:07:33 Don't panic!

00:09:37 This is a place for forgetting. Leaving behind.

00:09:57 It was some kind of sign, I guess.

00:10:59 In a dark little gap of some anonymous little street.

00:14:23 You know, something with a weird, sad, lost sort of look.

00:14:41 …Too busy doing other stuff I guess.
