A recorded reading of “The Unassigned Object”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
No one assigned the object a place. It moved from shelf to chair to windowsill like a thought avoiding its conclusion. I gave it a box. The box became a room. The object stayed outside, pleased with its new amount of sky.
