Something Strange Is Happening
When I went to take the bin out this morning I was greeted with an incredibly bizarre sight. Possibly, one of the strangest things I’ve ever encountered. There, sitting on the step in front of our door, was…wait for it…a tiny, tiny chair. Like, fairy people tiny. I almost didn’t see it and nearly crushed it with my foot it was so small. I blinked a few times and it was still there. I called to Mum, inside the house.
‘Mum? Why have you ordered a tiny chair?’
‘What are you talking about?’
‘There is an inexplicably tiny chair sitting on our doorstep.’
‘You’re seeing things,’ she said.
‘Come outside!’
She came out and we both stared at the chair. Then I reached out to pick it up.
‘NO!’ she yelled.
‘What?!’
‘It might be a trap.’
‘A trap for WHAT?!’
‘Are you SURE you didn’t order this?’
‘I’m not going senile, Emma. Maybe it’s one of your little friends, playing a joke on you.’
‘I mean, if this is a joke I’m really not seeing it.’
‘That Steph always did have a peculiar sense of humour.’
‘Ugh, come on, let’s just go inside.’
‘WAIT.’
She disappeared off into the house, then reappeared with a spatula.
‘Just in case,’ she said, and leant down towards it.
Then she carried the tiny chair into the house. On the spatula.

I messaged Faith and Gracie and neither of them know anything about the mysterious chair. I even messaged Steph, because I was so stumped, and all she said was:
No idea. Sx 18.01
I can’t believe she’s not even curious about a teeny, tiny chair randomly arriving at my house. I guess she really doesn’t care any more.
Mum put it in my room and I’m looking at it now. It’s wooden and green and painted up the side with little flowers.
Totally, totally bizarre.
Sum Total Of My Day
Cringed about things I said to Dev. Tried not to think about Steph. Or Leon. Posed outfits against my tiny bit of wall and tried to get the look/lighting just perfect. I’m definitely getting better and better at it.
Oh, and stared at the tiny chair.
