A long long time ago, I can still remember...
I had a little obsession with pete's dragon.. Yes the disney film from 1977.. I really loved the character of Eliott.. (and i still love dragons and other magical beings)
As a wee kid i got some kind of squeecky (spelt right i hope) toy in the shape of Eliott the dragon, quite worn and the colors faded.
One fatefull day at school, i decided to bring it along (dont know for sure which year but i must have been somewhere from 5 to 7 y.old.. ) and I played with it during recess. I clearing remember even my mother not to take it too school..
When playing i put it just 1 minute in a little garden and stepped away, the next minute it was soooo gone.. in my imagination i was just backing away and when returning it was no more. and to this day I still remember this 'heartwrenching scene' (like it was a movie) and occasionally popping in on my memory and mind.
No actually not the feeling of loosing something..
But why? Why does this come up every so often? Why?
Just like last night..
In the past i may have researched this kind of toy a couple of times on the internet.. but never got something out of it and yesterday i did just the same.. and guess what????
I THINK I ACTUALLY FOUND THE THING ONLINE!
I can not remember it so good, but it gives some kind of vibe of recognition maybe... when looking at the picture..
I actually am quite interested buying it.. but the costs of sending are throught the roof! (About 240 euros! That MUST be a mistake no?)
So no.. just a picture this time.. of something that really crossed my mind during *my* lifetime.. (and i still don't know why)
But hey.. still a great memory right?
This really dominated my world all those years ago...
And i was actually quite fixated on the front (belly) the stripes on it.. were just mesmerizing!
