Writing prompts! Gonna try, not promising.

I found a list of writing prompts on tumblr a week or so ago. It's a challenge to write 30 letters to different things or people. Day 1 is a letter to an inanimate object that you hate. The reason I chose this particular object is because several hours, even days, after i wet it from my shower, it's still wet and gets my feet and pants soaked. It's annoying and generally puts me in a crappy mood because I then have to change my pants. Not the end of the world, but it's the little things I guess! haha

Anyway, here we go. I doubt I'll keep this up though.

Dear bath mat,

            I?m writing to apologize. I don?t often treat you with the respect or dignity you deserve. Oh the things you must have seen from where you lay. I?m very sorry. I get you wet far too often, and you?re stuck like that for hours after I?m completely dry. It?s unfair. You put up with a lot. I?ve left you alone in there with smells, all matted and moist after my shower, with stray hairs that have fallen from my head stuck to you. And yet, there you sit, all loyal and fuzzy, just putting up with it. It would be nice if we were friends, since you?re always there for me, the one warm spot in an otherwise freezing bathroom. Given the way I treat you though, I doubt we could ever be friends. I just hope this letter finds you well and can act as a peace offering. I?ve treated you with hate and disrespect long enough.

Be well and do try to stay dry, 

Rob
