Thread: Playing With Toys--the twisted children's story

Playing With Toys 9 It grew dark outside and the Tall Girl got ready for bed. She pulled the Teddy Bear down from his shelf as he and the Doll With The Porcelain Face whispered goodnight to each other. Then she layed down in her gigantic bed with Teddy Bear snuggled under one arm. When the light went out all was still and soon the Tall Girl made the soft noises of slumber. But the Teddy Bear did not sleep. He never did. Wide awake, he listened and watched as the shadows in the room started to breath and take shape. They drifted close to the bed but they did not touch the Tall Girl. Not when Teddy Bear was there. Sometimes she would forget to bring him down from the shelf before turning out the light and when the dark things touched her she tossed and turned in nightmares. But not tonight. Teddy Bear had the power to kick all of their asses if they laid a hand on her, so although close to the bed they did not touch her. And Teddy Bear lay there making threatening gestures at them and whispering menacing promises of pain if they dared try anything. The End Playing With Toys 10 The Teddy Bear and the Doll With The Porcelain Face went shopping with the Clucking Hen. At a clothing store they all tried on different things and showed off in front of the mirrors. The Doll With The Porcelain Face tried on a new green dress that everyone gave weak smiles at. The Teddy Bear tried on some new pink pumps because they made his legs feel pretty. And the Clucking Hen tried on some bright blue spandex shorts that both Teddy Bear and the Doll With The Porcelain Face agreed she should NOT be wearing. The End Playing With Toys 11 There was much affinity between the Clucking Hen and the two toys and they played together and hung out often. But Clucking Hen was getting fat and the Great Father came and chopped off Clucking Hen's head and served her body for dinnerit was yummy, BTW. So tender. Teddy Bear and the Doll With The Porcelain Face managed to salvage her head and put it in a jar of formaldehyde. She could no longer eat or try on outfits with them anymore but she was still their friend and they toted her around in a little wagon with them everywhere they went. The End Playing With Toys 12 Teddy Bear, the Doll With The Porcelain Face and Clucking Hen's Head went to the zoo together. It was much fun seeing the animals and they each had their favorites. Teddy Bear liked the tigers for their cool stripes and ferocious nature. The Doll With The Porcelain Face liked the giraffes for their quirky spots and elegant bodies. Clucking Hen's Head liked the birds in the bird house for obvious reasons. Nobody liked the monkeys who smelled bad, screeched loudly and picked their own buttholes for entertainment. That's just nasty, they all agreed. The End Playing With Toys 13 While in the park, Teddy Bear and the Doll With The Porcelain Face climbed a tree while Clucking Hen's Head waited in her little jar and wagon below. It was a race to the top, to see the view from the highest branch. Teddy Bear gained a steady lead but slipped and fell. He hit many branches on his way down and flopped onto the grassy ground. When the Doll With The Porcelain Face climbed out of the tree she hurried to Teddy Bear's side, worry creasing her smooth, painted face. Teddy Bear sat up...but his arm stayed on the ground. Snowy white stuffing sprouted from his shoulder. The End
