Teddy

It was two teddies on my palms after I unboxed my Christmas packages. My Dad had presented me we the gifts on Christmas day and thought it felt like I fought a war exercising patience till the next day.

The first was pink, and the second was a mix of black and brown. It was my size and I imagined how much I would enjoy the warmth of these soft stuffed structures on my bed at night and how I would play and show them off to my friends.

I woke later at night after falling asleep while playing with my teddies.
I remember leaving the two teddies on my bed, but now, one lay on the table.
I tried to recall if I had misplaced thoughts, but no, I was sure I slept off while playing with them two.

I let out a scream and my dad came into my room. We discussed it and he had them removed, I'll only play with them during the daytime.

We have heard stories about all these dolls and resides, on how they developed mystical powers at night and sucked blood, but we're always swift to brush it behind until the incident.

The next day, my mum gathered all the teddies and heaped them outside the compound.
I stood and watched what her plans were,
I care less though.
She emerged with a half-filled bottle of an unknown fluid and a lighter, the next minute, the head turned to a pile of smoke.
