Lily loved pasta. She liked to eat it with cheese and sauce. She also liked to play with it. She would make shapes and animals with the pasta on her plate. Sometimes she would pretend the pasta was a train or a snake or a necklace.
One day, Lily found a furry toy in her room. It was a big brown bear with a red hat. Lily thought it was cute and soft. She decided to make the bear her friend. She gave him a name: Pasta Bear. She took him to the kitchen and gave him some pasta to eat.
"Here you go, Pasta Bear," Lily said. "This is your favorite food. You can share it with me."
Pasta Bear did not say anything. He just looked at Lily with his black eyes. He did not eat the pasta. He did not smile. He did not move.
Lily did not mind. She thought Pasta Bear was shy. She decided to show him her room and her toys. She picked him up and carried him to her room. She sang a song as she walked. She marched with Pasta Bear like a soldier.
"Come on, Pasta Bear," Lily said. "Let's have some fun. I have a lot of things to show you. You will like them."
Pasta Bear did not say anything. He just looked at Lily with his black eyes. He did not sing. He did not smile. He did not move.
Lily did not notice. She was too happy to have a new friend. She reached her room and opened the door. She gasped. Her room was a mess. Her toys were broken. Her books were torn. Her bed was ripped. There was stuffing and feathers everywhere.
"What happened?" Lily cried. "Who did this?"
Pasta Bear did not say anything. He just looked at Lily with his black eyes. He did not cry. He did not smile. He did not move.
Lily dropped Pasta Bear on the floor. She ran to her bed and hugged her pillow. She sobbed. She felt scared and sad. She did not understand.
Pasta Bear did not say anything. He just looked at Lily with his black eyes. He did not hug. He did not smile. He did not move.
He waited. He waited for Lily to fall asleep. He waited for his chance. He waited for his revenge. He hated pasta. He hated Lily. He hated everything.
He was not a toy. He was a trap. He was a monster. He was hungry.
