Charlie the Eraser

Once upon a time there was an eraser named Charlie.

Charlie had a lot to learn about being an eraser. He was newly popped out of his eraser package and dropped into a cacophony of office people.

Chuck quickly became friends with Dot the blue Bic pen. Dot was a little older than Charlie, and was able to show him the ropes around the sometimes convoluted, cliquey society of the desk world.

She liked Charlie, and vice versa, because they could coexist without fear of impacting the other. Charlie couldn't erase Dot. They were each other's "safe zone".

Anyway.

One day Charlie was abruptly taken to be used by one of the office giants. Dot grieved. Charlie, in his angst, sprouted little eraser legs to make his way back to his blue love. These legs carried him across the office back to the desk of his homeland.

He climbed the desk leg, hauled himself over the edge, and tumbled at Dot's feet.
Dot threw her cap off, and wrote all over Charlie "I love you, mutant eraser".

It was love.

The end.
