Gerald The Penguin (Explanation In Description)

In school i found a penguin eraser in the library and named him Gerald. All of my friends and I loved him, we even made a shrine for him, he was powerful, but one day we had a mass evacuation drill and I stupidly brought him with me. My friend also brought somethings with them so i thought it was fine. Half way through the evacuation i dropped Gerald but I couldn't go back for him because of the line of students behind me. When we were going back I searched everywhere but he was nowhere to be found. My friends and I were very sad and I still feel stupid for bringing him with me. But, one day at a scholastic book fair there was a book about penguins that had a very similar penguin eraser to Gerald so i bought it. It wasn't a exact replica but it was close enough. I still lose sleep to this day about what my 10 year old self thought would be a genius idea.
