Once And For All Time


Princess Kitty is in control. She has had a good day at work today. She had a little list of things she needed to do. And she did them all. She ticked them all off. And some extra ones.

Growly Bear is not in control. Or at least he doesn't feel as if he is. His life is spinning around and perfectly still all at the same time.

It feels like that feeling before a thunderstorm. When the electricity is building. When everything in the world is familiar yet not right. When you feel as if something is about to happen yet you cannot make it start. When you feel the pressure of a prison yet the vulnerability of open space.

Guinea pigs are scared of thunderstorms. They make them squeak. Growly Bear doesn't like thunderstorms either. It makes him growl. Not on the outside but on the inside. So no-one can hear him. Keeping the growl in makes him hurt more.

Princess Kitty does not like to think of Growly Bear hurting. She would like to help make him better. She would like to get that growl out of him. Once and for all time.

I hope Princess Kitty does help Growly Bear release his growl. Keeping feelings bottled up inside all the time is not good.

lizza: Maybe she should try next time they make honey

JVIP: That sort of tension can be harder than the event itself
