Edgar
Sept 29, 2004 - Oct 5, 2004

It is my painful duty to inform you of the departure of our dearly beloved friend and timepiece, Edgar. Edgar was, subconsciously, named after the great writer Edgar Allan Poe. When J and I first brought him home from Loblaws, T commented that his loud ticking freaked her out and made her think of the telltale heart under the floorboard. A few days later, T decided to name him Edgar. Edgar was purple and somewhat girly looking, and as a result he was a little bit gender confused. On top of this, A felt that Edgar deserved to die. A thought Edgar was too loud. And Edgar could sense this animosity. Edgar had feelings. He was just trapped inside a plastic casing. So he jumped off the wall.. committed suicide. He was only part of our lives for a short time, but he will be very much missed. We would like to think that maybe Edgar fell to escape the casing. Maybe his spirit is now free. May he rest in peace.
