My most treasured possession
What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Hmmm...
Despite myself, I'm quite sentimental - I'll doubtless give several examples of this in the coming week. The upshot is that, in practice, I would probably save nothing from a burning building because I'd spend too much time dithering about what to save. The cat'd save himself - he's not stupid. From my own house, there's lots I'd save if I had the chance, but (in fairness) nothing's irreplaceable. I don't have any treasured family mementos - I don't even have any photographs of my family (and they have none of me).
From my parents', though... it'd have to be Euston that I saved.
Euston lives in the attic; he's about 2' tall, and would be sky blue but for the dirt. He is, of course, the teddy bear that I had as a small child. I've not seen him for decades, and I've joked about putting him in the bin - but I couldn't do that and despite my apparent nonchalance, I'd be heartbroken if he were to disappear somehow.
I am a 31-year old male. I disgust myself with my own wussiness.

Nah!
Embrace your inner wuss.
If you can't do it on here then where can you?

It's ok
In my mind you're not the most manly of men, so it's alright with me.

If he can time travel
he might go back to before he posted this story and not post it. That would make us all look silly.
