Animating Inanimate Objects

            In cartoons, anything is possible. Dishes can sing, crickets can sew a fancy dress, and mice can cook in a four-star restaurant.

            Vases can repel the addition of flowers they don’t like, cars have personalities that override drivers and televisions can take over houses.

            Your task is to write a story in which an inanimate object assumes a personality and becomes the protagonist. Consider using other inanimate objects as supporting characters, as villains, even as narrators.

            Have fun with this one.
