Your flower ornaments are so round, nice, and so old that even if I had the time or the idea, I don't even know if I should change anything. I do like to refurbish furniture, but I didn't know what to do with you.
The day you became mine, I found you carefree and whole, holding together with the rest of the bed. Although I have seen many scratches on your inner side, hidden from the eyes of those who do not pay attention to details, your history is still a hidden secret to me. What happened to you in the past, dear footboard? Maybe it doesn't matter anymore. All I know is that today I have to say goodbye to you.
Just a piece of old, broken furniture, that is how people looked at you! But we are all broken in a way, don't worry. Almost for a year, your photo was there on that mobile app that offers second-hand stuff. I said you can go free if someone wants to give you a dignified life and attach you to a bed.
Turns out that you wanted to stay all this time in my home as noone ever contacted me. Until yesterday afternoon. And then... a series of strange things started happening.
Se帽or Miguel sent me a message yesterday afternoon while I was at work, saying he wanted to pick you up. Of course, while I was at work, I couldn't answer him and only when I got home did I get in touch with him... But the surprise happened when I entered the room and saw you lying on the floor!!! I don't know how, I really don't know how you could have fallen to the floor because you were standing in the same position, leaning against the wall behind a curtain all this time. My husband who was at the other end of the apartment, heard a loud noise, looked around the house, but didn't understand what happened. Just when I asked him whether he moved the wooden footboard, he realised it was the strange and sudden bang he heard. We lifted you up, leaned against the wall again and left the room.
Bang!
Not even a minute passed and you fell again. 馃槸
We were stunned. I joked that it was some energy that moved you from your place.
The unfortunate thing is that a part of you broke - the ornament from the centre fell apart, so this is how you looked today. We brought you to the hallway, leaning you against the wall, hoping that you would stay still here until Miguel comes to pick you up. However, you had to fall once again! What is happening??
Then we just let you in a safe position, close to the ground but I decided to fix you a bit before se帽or Miguel would come. I found a tube of glue for wood. It was dry, so I pressed the tube harder. Then the glue leaked onto the floor, so I had to clean it up quickly so it wouldn't stick to the floor. Now there's a stain on the floor. While I was fixing you, my hand got glued as well. You were so restless... until se帽or Miguel arrived and said you are beautiful, that he is happy to refurbish you. I guess I am happy too, as you will have a better and happier life from now on.
P.S. I hope the admins of this community will not kick me out! 馃槀 This is not a horror thingy, just a real story that happened with this bed footboard I gave away today.
