| The Open Plain of Bureau Top |
Few remembered the Great Sweep, as this event occurred sporadically
and quickly. Those who did could give
only sparse details and explanations.
This time, however, the Lace Trouser Socks had been taken out and lay upon the
Bureau Top: they witnessed the Great
Sweep.
After all was done and they had been returned to Sock Drawer,
they lay stunned as the other socks gathered around them. Slowly, Mr. Lace Trouser began to
explain.
Having been pulled from the Sock Drawer and placed upon the
Bureau Top, they had observed a flat plain stretching as far as could be
seen. Treasures of all sorts were strewn
on this plain, along with glittering cylinders titled “Inis” and “Regenerist”. So many treasures, such a wealth beyond
imagination lay on the Open Plain.
Then the Sock Drawer was opened, just beneath the Bureau Top
Plain, and all the small treasures were swept into the Sock Drawer. Whoosh…sweep…slam. It was over so quickly.
Mrs. Lace Trouser continued to speak of Stranger entering the
Room Beyond as the socks were being pulled upon the Owner’s leg. The Great Sweep had something to do with the
Stranger coming to the room. Clearly the
Alpha, the Stranger gave approval for the now empty Bureau Top Open Plain.
Questions, so many questions had to be asked about this Open Plain,
the Bureau Top, and the Room Beyond. But for now, the newly-returned Lace
Trouser Socks needed to rest.

| What treasures! |
The residents turned their attention to the treasures. Wonderment would soon fill the world of Sock
Drawer.

I can see them all tucking a little loose change into their 'roll ups' lol.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Did you tuck change in the cuff and then roll it down? I did.
DeleteLooks like the sock drawer is going to have a field day
ReplyDeleteA new world perspective has just opened.
DeleteSounds like they are going for an adventure.
ReplyDeleteOr the adventure has come to them.
DeleteOh, they are my favorites! I hope they each can gather up something pretty for their very own treasure. Maybe they need to find a place to hide their treasures.
ReplyDeleteThat would be an excellent idea.
DeleteWonderful as ever! The contents of my drawer must be in utter turmoil - my American friend arrives next week and all my possessions being moved into another room, poor things :0)
ReplyDeleteThe Sock Drawer will have an enriching experience!
DeleteDear Susan, your imagination never ceases to amaze me. I'm looking forward to the day you complete your family memoir. But also I'd so like to read a fantasy novel penned by you. Peace.
ReplyDeleteI am reworking the family memoir as we speak. I also have Native American book I have sketched out.
DeleteDoes the underwear drawer know what is going on in the sock drawer? Some of those old and size small undies may not have been outside for a long time. Maybe it is best that they don't know.
ReplyDeleteThe underwear drawer sees too much action, too frequent washings to maintain a consciousness. I thought about it. Decided not to go with that.
DeleteGuess you socked it to 'em.
ReplyDeleteOh, Goldie Hawn and the cast of Laugh-In may like this!
DeleteGreat imagination, Susan. Amazing what we can find when searching through drawers ... treasures indeed.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I have found something I believed lost to me forever, like a tiny set of language dictionaries, given to me at high-school graduation!
DeleteBut will the socks relinquish any of these treasures?
ReplyDeleteThat may pose a problem for some of them.
DeleteThe shirt drawer has to be jealous
ReplyDeleteThey might be, but I haven't explored that drawer yet.
DeleteSock it to me baby. Find me some trousers.
ReplyDeleteMy own trouser socks never see the light of day, as I wear sandals most of the time.
DeleteI love this and am totally jealous of the socks. What fun they are going to have haha.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and creative piece. :)
You'll have to check out the other Sock Drawer Sagas. I wonder if I should make that another blog site? Any thoughts on that?
DeleteLooks like the treasures outnumber the socks.
