Billy Budd, a Bookcase

by Jonathan

There once was a sad bookcase named Billy Budd the Bookcase (see photo above). It was a nearly happy bookcase, but it was missing something… Something large and wonderful. Unfortunately, the Billy Budd’s owner had a very tight budget, so little Billy the Bookcase didn’t know when his gaping empty space would be filled!

Jonathan, Billy Budd the Bookcase’s owner, cared deeply for the bookcase and was disheartened to see him so sad. So, he scoured the internet, trying to find a satisfying companion to fill the empty hole in Billy Budd’s heart. Then, Jonathan stumbled upon a website, one with great deals and – could it be!? – perhaps the perfect deal for his dear bookcase! Jonathan’s wallet was still very thin, he wasn’t sure that he could afford to buy it – but he must! Fortuitously, Jonathan received the perfect amount of money in birthday gifts! It was time! He ordered the perfect mate for poor Billy Budd; now they just had to wait.

Finally, It arrived!

Jonathan excitedly opened it and organized it so that it would be ready to present to his dear Billy Budd. He gave Billy Budd his dear love; their eyes met, Billy Budd’s and Church Dogmatics, and Jonathan was certain he saw sweet Billy Budd shed a tear. And now, they live together, happily ever after.
