Spare (Defined) “Not currently in use; in reserve”
Glancing in the window of a recently closed children’s consignment shop, I spotted this tiny, orange sweater hanging forlornly in the now abandoned store front. I pondered why this one vibrant item adorned with teddy bears, remained. Perhaps a testament to a dream that was not to be or more simply that the sweater was left in haste? I like to interpret it as a statement of fortitude left behind from the proprietor. A symbol that whatever the future brings, he or she will survive. I shall leave the interpretation to you gentle readers.
I like your interpretation.

It is strange, Kathy, for that one item to be left behind… it’s hardly unnoticeable.

Tom, the still empty store is next to our favorite Thai restaurant. Each subsequent visit (now almost a year later) I am certain that this time, the sweater will be gone, but alas it still remains! Yes, can’t imagine it was left in haste. Thanks for comment and hope all well.
