Objects

• Balloon
  • First becoming aware of his/her surroundings in a bag of other balloons there are lots of initial conversations with other balloons and ideas of where they are and why they're there. Someone eventually buys them and observations are made by our balloon based on the stories from the bag with the others. He/She is eventually filled with helium at a kids birthday party and is inadvertently let go at which panic ensues followed by acceptance. Before bursting at the outer edges of the Earth's atmosphere, he/she express the view as the most beautiful thing they have ever seen.
  • Maybe the stories came from a balloon toward the outside of the clear bag who could see where other balloons were going and overhear things.
  • Our balloon is very upbeat and optimistic initially before the release. Everything is new and exciting.
• Urinal Cake
  • A urinal cake is taken from his environment where his friends and family resided and placed in a completely white room. Over time he begins to notice that he's losing weight almost daily and slips into the mentality of a cancer patient unknowing of how much time he has left. The more random objects come and go the more paranoid he gets. In his final days he meets another younger urinal cake and is presented with a chance to pass on his wisdom.
  • Maybe toss in a bit about him thinking he's in some government facility. Water torture and all that.
• No.2 Pencils
  • The story of a No.2 pencil in a pencil box containing a mixed bunch of other No.2 pencils. He's under the impression it's a concentration camp of sorts. Sometimes a friend of his will disappear and come back all mangled or notably shorter.
• coke can
  • flash back to when he was made, standing in line, getting put in a box...
  • sitting in a cooler at a gas starting, seeing the first dude in line get taken away never to be seen again.
  • tab gets broken off, like a piece of his body, get drank, then thrown in the back of a pickup truck.
  • rolls around for a long time, sees dead deer, beer kegs, moments of conversations with other cans
  • gets recycled, death, and life...ain't it great.
• candle
  • in a box with other candles
  • menorah let readers figure that out, by posts by different candles
  • gets messages from other candles but the messages are all fucked up and wrong.
  • candles are naked next to each other.
