Assignment 12: Shelby Amato

The room is dark. A stuffed polar bear lays haphazardly on the bed. 

And then it moves. 

Certain that the humans in the house won't return for at least a few hours, he decides to stretch out his paws for a while. It's a lazy day, rainy and cold. A brief stroll around the house is enough for the bear to realize that nap time is all the time and decide to go back to bed- but he hears a noise. As per his usual habit, the poor bear drops to the floor and lays still. He slowly recognizes the noises of a doorknob. But this doorknob is being jarred open, not smoothly turned.

A panic grows in the bear. 

While the owners of this house may not know the extent of his consciousness, he feels that it is his duty to guard their property- his home. He runs across the wood floor and skids around a corner to the room where he knows the woman of the house keeps her hunting knives. As he slowly proceeds back to the door with the knife trembling in his polyester mix fake fur paws, he is seen. 

The intruder drops to the ground in fright.
