Conversations with Slinky
Description
Hello my name is Ebeneezer Smith
Thank you for staying with me.(mutters to himself)
All right. Let’s see what kind of neighbors I’ve got.
There is a set of plastic building bricks.
There is a board game whose box I remember arguing over with my cousins.
And in the “Comfort and Companions” section, a bear that looks suspiciously like something I once slept with every night until I was far too old to admit it.
[SOUND: Footsteps slow.] And I admit this is the kind of atmosphere that does make you want to talk to yourself
Well, hello there, middle-school emotional support system.
Footsteps
Everything is quiet.
Ordinary.
Almost disappointingly normal.
Let me see - here is a gallery labeled: “American Playthings: 1940s–1960s.”
A soft metallic… whisper.
[SOUND: Very faint first shhhink… shhhink…]
It has to be nothing.
The building settling.
A vent conductor rattling.
The ghost of a shopping cart from the discount store next door.
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
