Gif's album

Gosh, did she actually put her hands around silvian, the monkey. She instantly recalled the strong puke-inspiring, odour that always emanated from him! She remembered joking and putting across to him the need the world felt for his use of a deodorant :) She let out a small laughter before she flipped over to the next photograph... Huh, was this a rare masterpiece in the world of symmetry or what? 4 giraffes with their heads together and their butts standing out, she couldn't help laugh aloud at this one. And this one, hahahahaha, the princess trying to look severe and yet smile, in her most ridiculous boy-est looking hair cut. The princess never looked funnier :) She looked up from the photograph and smiled about how for years later she had joked with the princess about this particular hair cut of hers. How over coffee they had for several hours discussed the necessity for a hair cut such as that in the Camel land and how much the princess had transformed ever since she let her locks show their true beauty. Then she recalled how the Princess once decided to revenge her bad hair cut days with overdone hair and had gone for that burgundy shade of hair colour. Pathetic you say? She'll agree with you, but the princess, well, she tried her best to hold her laughter tight and say, oh she looked alright in it! Those were the days really... And yeah.. she had that photo where the princess had tied a scarf round her head and really looked like a princess. Where was it? she flipped through the album quickly and then once again, had she lost that one!? No!!! She tried those family photo albums, nope no luck there either. The princess... did she secretly remove that photo from her collection. Her brows knit in eager recollection... Nope, the princess had never got to touch this album. Did it fall off in the shelf? She franctically pulled out the entire contents of the shelf, alas, no use! Where, where could it go... she almost could cry at her loss. That was the most magnificent form she ever found the princess in! Now she had lost it, or... had she? For it safely lodged in her memories, only in her memories, out of reach from the princess even, never to be ever lost from her... Somehow she felt, that she remembered that picture even more now that she had lost the photo, she remembered every detail, every expression, almost everything about the photograph! Maybe we'd rememeber moments more if we didnot have photographs, she thought. She smiled a tired smile, arranged the shelf back, put the albums back and got on with work :)

Inspired by this piece of Griz!
