Loony: The Loon from Minneapolis

There once was a loon that lived in a corner of a janitor's closet in a store. This loon's name was Loony. Loony was preparing for the cold winter that was about to slap down on Minnesota. He wished that someone, since he was a stuffed animal for sale, would buy him and take him to a warmer climate. One day, when Loony was collecting scraps to make a den, a person walked in who took quite an interest in Loony. Loony was so excited! This had never happened before! The man grabbed Loony and took it up to the front desk. When Loony heard the "beep" of the scanner, his eyes nearly fell out! Loony was placed in a sack and was taken out of the store. A whoosh of warmth came nesting into the bag. It made Loony feel like he was resting on a beach in Hawaii. Man, thought Loony, I hope I never go into that store again. When Loony seemed to be tired of lying uncomfortably in a sack for a long time, he decided to take a peek of where he was. When he looked, it seemed he was on a hotel bed. Loony couldn't see the man that had bought him at the store earlier, so he decided to hop out of the sack and onto the bed. As Loony stepped onto the bed, he thought, Ahhh! This is absolute paradise. The bed feels so soft, the smell of the store is gone, and now I can relax on this bed until the man comes back! Loony fell back straight into the bed and dozed off in less than 5 seconds. When Loony woke up, he was in the sack again, but this time, something was different. It was darker, and seemed to be a lot of work to get up and out of the sack. When Loony suceeded at getting out of the bag, it looked like he was in a suitcase. Could Loony be moving out of Minnesota? It would be an absolute relief if he was going somewhere warmer like California or Hawaii. Loony could feel the bumps the suitcase was making, and the muffeled conversations of people walking in the airport. He started to get very tired again, so he went back to sleep in a jiffy. The next time Loony woke up, he was once again in the sack. But he was being carried this time. He could hear a conversation that sounded like the man that had bought him, and a little child. It sounded like,"Hey bub, I got you a present from my trip." and then, "You did? What is it?! What is it?! What is it?!". Then Loony got pulled out of the sack and got placed into the hands of the child. The child gave him kisses and hugs until Loony almost suffocated. Now, Loony is living happily with the child, whos name is still unknown, and the man, whos name is still unknown.
P.S. Loony might send you a postcard! (:
