Today I
conformed to society’s, extreme, inflexible, overbearing, moral
code and didn't steal a stop sign from the street. Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
The Toaster
That Wanted More
The usual fate
of a toaster is to only toast things. And for the toaster in the
Marlo household that's all their toaster should do. Things are to do
what they are meant to do! Well the tale of the toaster in the Marlo
household is an inspirational one.
By some mishap
of magic or some otherworldly working, the Marlo toaster had a soul.
And it wanted to be more than a mere toaster. So much that it willed
itself into a human form! It created its own name, identity, and
became a citizen...blending into the world as if it had been human
all along.
No one
suspected the toaster as it became educated, and entered the business
world, amassing wealth and contacts. It made friends, enemies and
even married and had a family. Eventually it left business to join
politics. The United States had a toaster for president, and he
served the country well, along with the world. Relationships around
the globe became more peaceful and he stopped war for decades.
There is a sad
note to this tale. The Marlo household had to buy a new toaster to
replace the one that mysteriously vanished. That just ruined their
week.
