INSIDE Backpack
I found my invisible backpack today. A dog brought it to me, held between its teeth. Opened it up, surprised, and found that it's been quietly collecting a number of things for some time now.
Familiar bits and pieces that have been picked up over the years, packed into this backpack I had never seen before. Confused, I turned to find my visible backpack still sitting on the table where I set it just minutes ago. It is plain and sturdy, carefully constructed to endure the climate. I looked inside, surprised again. Little boxes and gift wrap. Packaging materials, in patterns and colors that perfectly coordinated with each item in the invisible backpack.
Slightly horrified, I start a small fire.
