Side Lore: Sewing up 'past' things...
Fat-Sew was born one day, on an
early crisp fall morning in october.
His creator Tony, wasn't on time
again.. and more he was far from
sober. But even in a drunken state,
the boss worshipped the molds he
made. Tony was a 'plastics molding
and assembly technician' but, poorly
paid. One day, after altering the size
of the primary mold, he decided he
wanted to try something different
and very bold. Tony had his mind set
on an idea, a fantastical vision it
would be 'something to behold.'
This would prove legendary in time,
for now Tony just wanted a product
idea sold.
Thus were the early beginnings
starting show how this fantastical
story will be forever told. A flawed visionary, who gave a little magic,
and happiness in the form of a
creation he called Fat-Sew.
Big, round, and 'infinitely wound'
with a needle for a hand, that's Fat-
Sew. Fat-Sew found instant affection
from The Man, but he repayed it in
tons of repairs though. Still, he was
always ready to patch up any tears
in what The Man or his family bore.
Alas even though he gave that man
and his family his all they still wanted more. Fat-Sew became sad and after sewing for weeks and weeks with no break, he was sore. It mattered not to
The Man though as he gathered him
up (kit, and all) and tossed then him
out the door.
Man just happens to be one of many
who has tossed out something he should've treasured. As Fat-Sew just
lay there twirling his needled finger
in circles he was wishing on a
family who'd love him beyond
measure. Because he didn't want to
suffer the misfortune of a 'distant
relative' who was (unwound
completely and 'moved on') to be
later discarded at The Man's leisure.
Fat-Sew, now living with Georgie and
his mom, has been instrumental in
bringing calm into an otherwise tense home setting. Fat-Sew's sewn up
dozen's of garments and mom no
longer seems to be fretting. Today seeing his friend's mom so happy
makes him happy too, as he looks
over at his little buddy and thinks
silently to himself "Georgie will soon benefit as well from mom's new
demeanor at least that's what I'm
hoping and betting" ...
