Assignment: Using "Personification"


The couch appeared forlorn and vacant. Missing were the two cats, one warm           feline reclined on each ample sofa arm. Sweet, sweet HoneyBun with her heart shaped face and soft sea eyes on the right side, an orange, brown and white calico who brought light wherever her delicate paws tread. Big Bongo on the left side, weighty and shrewd, dressed up in his Tuxedo best with no place to go, enormous white whiskers exploring his space. The first cat emitted a light, feminine purr; the other a basso vibration. One at a time, each disappeared leaving only the cool, silent throw pillows and seat cushions to keep the couch company.

How to explain death to a couch?
