He was sitting quietly in the bushes, along side a trail. We almost walked right by him. But my friend pointed him out, and I was impressed by his size. Fully extended, at least six inches. I decided I wanted to touch him, and she got out her camera. At first, as I held him in my hand, he seemed timid, shy, scared. He shrunk down to a petite couple inches, but I knew what potential he had. So I held and caressed him, and tried to make him feel more comfortable.
His heft was impressive - more than I'd anticipated when I first saw him. He was strong and muscular, and as the minutes passed, began to come alive in my hand again. He stretched and expanded, and finally, when he knew I would not hurt him, felt at ease enough to extend to his full length.
His name is Trevor. He lives in Camas. He is quiet, shy, and unique. Beautiful in his own way. He was my companion for an hour, and I will never forget him.
