Calvin has one last talk with Hobbes

Do you love comic strips?  Do you love Calvin and Hobbes?  Do you want to start your morning off with a good cry that seemingly comes from out of nowhere?  Then check out this writing prompt via Samuraitiger19 on reddit:

“Calvin? Calvin, sweetheart?”

In the darkness Calvin heard the sound of Susie, his wife of fifty-three years. Calvin struggled to open his eyes. God, he was so tired and it took so much strength. Slowly, light replaced the darkness, and soon vision followed. At the foot of his bed stood his wife. Calvin wet his dry lips and spoke hoarsely, “Did… did you…. find him?”

“Yes dear,” Susie said smiling sadly, “He was in the attic.”

Susie reached into her big purse and brought out a soft, old, orange tiger doll. Calvin could not help but laugh. It had been so long. Too long.
