I see you. I see you looking at me. "Just a piece of worthless junk." What would you need me for? I might make your shelf lose its panache. Its identity. You don't need me. But I still see you staring. I see that we may have connected. You can feel it, can't you? You know what I am. You know what I can do. All you need is the courage to pick me up and take me home. Ignore the looks from the other customers. Ignore the smirk from the cashier as he takes your money and fumbles with the change. Look him in the eye and don't waver. Don't make any excuses. Because you know what you need me for. You know what I can do.
#### Take me home and show me the care I deserve. I have been left on shelves for eons, all because man and women find me odd and worthless. The children however understand that I am to be feared and do not touch me. Who would believe a child if he complained that I was scaring him. All I may have done is smile at him. Children are so lovely, but they can sense my power. They just do not know what to do with me. But you on the other hand; you know what I can do.
#### We will start with him He did hurt you, didn't he? He didn't have to do what he did. You do not deserve to treated like that. People show more care for yesterday's laundry than he did to you.He will pay. We will make him pay. I know you still have his favorite sweater that you stole from his apartment. Look inside. On the left side, towards the back of the neck, you will find a strand of hair. That's all you need. Tie it around my neck and you will have power over him that you should have had all this time.He will be yours to do what you will. We can do this together.
#### Raise your hand. That's it. Come closer. I will be all yours. All you need is courage and five dollars.
