Charley has made their way to Denmark. (They) are a they because they are actually a living community of abandoned stuffed creatures that have joined in communion to become Charley. The St. Bernard is the figurehead, or as in theology, the godhead.
The Stroller is a great invention for carrying children, in this case, other abandoned stuffed creatures. But in Denmark, it is the luxury item of the vagabond. It is a useful vehicle for accumulation as Charley creates their homestead.
The Boy here is the only friend who stayed to speak with Charley. He didn’t say much and Charley thought that the weather did not permit his bronze body to be without so much cover in the rain.
Here Charley is with their Shark. Either they were fishing or they were taking their Shark for a walk.
Here Charley tries to rescue one of their offspring. The Boy looks on reprimanding Charley for not being more attentive to their children. Charley, a refugee from another dimension and country, doesn’t quite understand water or what it means to be a parent in Denmark.
Charley gives their offspring a bath and then dries them off.
On the seventh day, Charley rests.
Charley found their way to America in the form of a coat that Tommy Nguyen wore back into customs. Now Charley lives in New York. One day, Charley meets Viktor.
Viktor climbs through a dimensional portal to enter New York.
Viktor and Charley are friends and partners because they are similar enough in this world and lucky enough to have found someone who share enough of the same interests, concerns, fears, and joys to make it through the day.
